quickcluck Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Finley my terrier cross hurt his leg last month, after 2 weeks of limping we went to see Mr Vet and had 2 weeks of metacam. After no improvement had many xrays done, thankfully nothing wrong!!! 10days of Rimdyl and very restricted walks, 15mins max, all road walking, although I can't stop him tearing up and down the garden! Went back yesterday with minor improvements and have another 2 weeks of pills, they say soft tissue or ligament which i'm inclined to agree with, and it'll take ages to heal. They offered to send the xrays for a 2nd opinion or do a scan, but I think thats over kill... She said he has the most muscular legs she's come across in a small breed !!!!! Do you agree as suddenly feeling very guilty. In a human soft tissue takes months! He honestly has no pain....... Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 He doesn't have anything stuck in his paws, does he? I have a friend who spent £1000s on her limpy greyhound on x-rays, diagnositcs etc etc, turned out he simply had a corn on his pad that was jolly painful, once that was removed, he was fine - vet apparently didn't bother to look for the most obvious thing? Poor Finley, hope he's better soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
