We're home! It's been a long day, we were on the road for seven this morning and with the rush hour traffic, we screeched into the car park dead on nine for our appointment!
The vet was lovely and gave him a really thorough examination and then we left him there for x-rays and for him to manipulate his joints while he was asleep. I hated leaving him
The results were inconclusive really, the hip dysplasia isn't very severe at all and shouldn't be causing him any worry, he also checked his back and pelvis and checked for patella luxation and everything was fine.
The vet didn't really want to do any further evasive investigation at this stage so advised to gradually increase his exercise while reducing his meds and we'll see how he copes. We're certain that he's not in pain - he just has this pesky limp!
So back home, chicken and rice for dinner as he was starving and now he's flat out!
