I don´t think I said about thin on AA, but I did put it up on my IG, Jacob was hobbling (front legs), After observing for a day to be sure it wasn´t him walking on a ¨sleeping¨ leg, I took him to the vet a week ago. He got an anti-inflammatory injection, prescribed some probiotics, and meloxicam. She advised he take a supplement for his joints after this is over.
After a day or two he stopped hobbling around. But now he seems stiff, like the Tin man.
After the check up today, I was advised to have x-rays done and a full analysis so they can choose the best course of action going forward. They will do 3 x-rays; hips, neck/collar, and something else... I can´t remember what she said.
They also want to check how his dysplasia has progressed.
They said they could squeeze him in there and then so I left him there and came home alone.... The look on his face through the window as I walked away, like he felt so abandoned!
I´ve been told to call at 4pm to see how things are going, or they would call me if he can leave sooner. They do all the work in house as it´s a hospital (the same place I now use for the birds).
I just hope he behaves well and doesn´t get into any trouble... I did tell her that he doesn´t like ¨intruders¨, which he demonstrated by growling at a woman who came to the window while I was still speaking with the vet. We´ll see...
Edit; to add pictures in case you haven't seen Jacob before,
Last week on the way home from the vet,
The moment he realised he was being tricked into eating medicine,
Today underground setting off for the vet,
his eye looks foggy but it's just junk. He's been bad with it these last few days
