Took Kodi in today to the vet. Mixed results- still very concerned for him, as we won't know till tomorrow what is wrong. At least hopefully we will know then.
*No x-rays today as the radigraph tech was not there. X-rays now sceduled for tomorrow (Thurs.). They will do hip/ stifle/ hock x-rays. They will also check articular cartilage, synovial membrane, tendons, and ligaments.
*Possible torn ACL or soft tissue injury. Might even be a subtle fracture although doubtful as there is no sign of pronounced swelling. Might be cranial cruciate ligament damage- which could lead to an arthritic condition requiring necessary surgical stabilization. Articular and/ or joint damage is a possibility.
*Was told that some soft tissue and joint injuries may take 6 to 8 weeks to completely heal.
*For tonight- was perscribed aspirin or metacam for discomfort/ inflammation.
Back to the vet tomorrow morning for x-rays. Thanks to all that have shown concern. It has become very difficult to helplessly watch as he continues to suffer. Normally such a happy and energetic little guy......this is heartbreaking.

Give me skies of black and blue,
the way you make me feel.
Give me skies of green and red,
cold winds will make it real.
Storms are brewing deep within,
of hurt and loss of pride.
It's good to see the world in pain,
when I take a walk outside.
I don't care about politics,
or the hyporites on my TV.
I'm not mad at the girl that left,
cause she couldn't be with me.
So make up the theories,
about the scandals and the lies.
Start out depressed,
and everything comes,
as a plesant surprise.
When it rains,
I don't mind being lonely,
I cry right along with the sky.
When it rains,
I don't pretend to be happy,
I don't even have to try.
When it rains,
Some people get down,
they're sporting a frown,
so I fit right in.
The sun may brighten your day,
but if I had my way,
I'd take the rain.

Anthony, why take the rain and not a sunny day?......."with all its shams, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy." Don't get me wrong in this.....I am n-o-t a Pollyanna with my head buried in the sand. At times, I find myself where you say you are. Life is too short not to take advantage of what little time we have. Trust me, I'm not preaching......just extending a hand. Hope tomorrow will be better for you. Joanie
The wall on which the prophets wrote,
is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death,
the sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man...is torn apart,
with nightmares, and of dreams,
will no one lay the laurel wreath,
as silence drowns the screams?
Between the iron gates of fate,
the seeds of time were sewn,
and watered by the deeds of those,
who know...and who are known.
Knowledge is a deadly friend,
when no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind...I see,
is in...the hands of fools.
Confusion...will be my epitaph,
as I crawl a cracked and broken path.
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh,
but I fear tomorrow I'll be crying...
yes I fear tomorrow...I'll be crying.

I know this is hard to watch your little guy go through so much pain, I'm so sorry, but have faith! He WILL be okay, and he has a great caretaker :)

Oh honey, I just now read this. How is he doing? Having just dealt with my own soft tissue injury, I can tell you he is doing exactly what he needs to do to heal...just rest, rest, rest. Please let us know how he is doing and try not to worry, our little soulmates are SO resilient.

Aw hon I know how hard it is to watch them in pain; but sounds like he has a great person taking care of him and I think he knows it too. Our little furbabies give so much they're worth anything we can do for them, huh?
