Hi, My wife and I are very concerned with one of our dogs who has now been injured for a week. She is a 4 year old Cairn Terrier/Corgi mix (we are guessing-She was a stray when we got her at around 4 months old). We noticed the injury randomly as she started walking gingerly with her head down. Hoping someone has seen something similar and can help out... Symptoms: -Crying in pain (comes in waves-especially when she wakes up in morning) -Walking gingerly w/ head a little downward -When in high pain back is arched a bit -Cant seem to get comfortable or find any position that is better Been one week..No evidence of any improvement. She's been taking a muscle relaxer, anti-inflammatory & a pain pill prescribed by vet. X Rays
Was it your regular vet who took the Xrays and then read them? It is only too easy for a non-expert to mis-read Xrays. My suggestion would be to take your girl to a veterinary hospital where they have specialist orthopaedic experts. The symptoms sound more like spinal cord problems which will not show up on a basic Xray. You do not say where you are but say that the dog/s you own are becs and I do not know what you mean by that. You also advertise ring tones in your Profile, I wonder why?
If x-rays have shown clear, I'd be trying two or three days of complete rest. If that didn't do the trick it would be back to the vet for further investigations
If a dog is constantly crying and in pain, it's pretty obvious it needs to head back to the vet. In other news, those ringtones advertised are awful! Who'd want their phone to sound like this: http://bestringtones.mobi/bhoot-horror-tone-ringtone-11209.html Imagine how many random people around might be startled/scared by this. Yikes!
