I left for the vet just after that last post. Wife called and they said bring him in. I ~just~ got back.
Definitely has arthritis. But she didn't rule out a disc issue yet. Examined him thoroughly, but didn't do x-rays (I was seein' dollar signs and said we'd try the anti-inflammatory first).
So, we got Rimadyl, a pain med and a joint supplement.
And a bill for $233.00
~sigh~
Hey,OB! That storm was more vicious than I thought. Though there was no damage in OT's neck of the woods, we made the news--a portion of our new hospital construction was damaged, a hanger "failed" at the airport and damaged the nine airplanes inside, and a lightning strike did $60,000 damage on a house here.
"Old Tyme Days" is in full swing right now, sun is shining, and people are flocking to buy anything with a price tag on it!!
Hope you all are having a wonderful time!
Sounds like a typical vet visit for me, 'cept my vet is so cute I smile while he does it!
