Sadie and Pooh Bear had their annual visit to the vet today for necessary shots and check ups. Of course we go pretty often for miscellaneous sickness and injuries.
Sadie: She weighs 34 pounds, which is great. Heart and lungs good. Teeth good. Overall good health. The vet re-checked her leg. She is limping slightly worse today. The vet pulled on her leg, manipulated it every which way. No yipes or cries. She pulled both legs back to test her back and hips, no yipes. It is not an ACL tear in her leg. It does not appear to be related to her back problem. Not neurological. She really doesn't know why Sadie is limping. Possibly a muscle pull or ligament pull. We are to stay on the Rimadly twice a day. If still limping next week she will do x-rays.
Pooh Bear: Weighs 40 pounds. He must loose at least 2 to get back to 38 which is where he was and vet is ok with that. Good over all health. Good teath. But when she was listening to his heart, she said she heard a click sound. She said it was not an arrythmia and was not a murmer. But it was a click. I asked is that something bad. Vet said no, nothing bad, just something to note in his chart. Which is worrisome to a worry wart Mom like me. She said not to worry though. (Pooh Bear tried to chase the cat that lives at the vets office - he he :biglaugh: )
Anyway, we are up to date on our shots. Just have to have Sadie take it easy (again) to get her leg feeling better.
