I'm probably going to take Java to have an Xray done later this month to make sure everything is alright. He is unable to extend his leg at all so he's sitting on his hock all day. I'm also curious if there is something that can be done to potentially reverse any damage if the issue isn't nerves. His breeder has no medical records, so I have nowhere to start as far as what his medical history is. Can nerve damage be detected through an Xray, and is there anything I could do to improve mobility in his leg? Also, would he have to be anesthetized for an Xray? I want to minimize as much stress as I can for him but I also want to make sure he's not dealing with discomfort that can be fixed. All input is welcomed. What would you do if you were in my situation in regards to having him examined?
