Better news re Lady - the orthopod suggests its osteoarthritis with underlying dysplasia with dystrophic calcification and also possibly secondary to an injury in the past or other disease process so I guess the fall didn't help the other sunday - if she was ever in pain in the time I've had her you would never know with Lady. He thinks cancer is very unlikely but can't rule it out (but that isn't considered enough to be an issue).
Treatment is 4-6 weeks rest and anti-inflammatories in the hope this is a severe sprain, and if needed physio after that (but considering having physio sooner anyway plus a good way to monitor her) He did say he doesn't rule out full hip replacement if its needed or other surgery. So we're just going to go with the flow with the treatment.
Not sure what's happening re her bloods but that will be monitored
Still not there but looking more hopeful than it was last week
