Update on limp
Chiquito's boomer ball injury has still not fixed itself, so he has been off for another stay with the vet this week. 6 x-rays later they still couldn't find anything, so all have been sent to the orthopedic vet for review.
Poor little man is back on the anti-inflammatory and pain meds, and has another week of more confined rest.

Re: Update on limp
Thank you x
While I am really happy they have found nothing major wrong, I do hope they find what the problem is soon .. it is horrible seeing him in pain and unable to move properly. Harder on him though to be prevented from playing though, let's me know with a little head droop and sad eyes that the world is horrible for a puppy who isn't allowed walkies yet again today .

Re: Update on limp
Have heard from the vet .. the ortho has looked at the x-rays, they've suggested the injury is in Chocs elbow and that it requires further specialist investigation/treatment. More confined rest and a visit with the ortho vet next week.
I've been keeping all my fingers crossed hoping that it was just a muscle thing ... it seems apparent now that he has done some serious damage though
