sorry for the delay, LadiesAndRafi. We were at Brian's this morning when he opened at 7:30 and he was expecting us. He did an exam and said he thinks it could be a pulled muscle. He said it's definitely not vertebrae in her neck, because she has full range of motion and no resistance, plus tail wags and sloppy kisses.

He was glad I gave her the NSAID last night and prescribed that for 10 days, with .... why, yes. Yes he DID say CRATE REST. He said it could be the beginning of something in her back but to start with conservative treatment and IF she gets worse get her in ASAP fasting for Xrays, and if she is not much better by Monday to come back Tuesday morning fasting for x-rays.

then. Then he told me to get ahold of myself, that I am a great dogmom, and if I had called him last night he would have been glad to meet me at the clinic and would have prescribed the same thing. He manipulated her around pretty well, and she never yelped or anything. He said she didn't appear to have any neural issues, and on the chance that it IS her back, crate rest and NSAID is the best thing for now.

Thankful for Tracy (Red Haired Girl) and Kim (Oceangirls) who FB messaged with me last night and this morning... and in my prayers this morning I was thankful that Duchie led me to you all so many years ago.
