Thank you Lori and Sharlene!
I will post Archie's next test results.
Sunday morning Raleigh jumped off the sofa and was limping a bit. It didn't seem too bad on Sunday but today it seems worse. The vet is booked for tomorrow so he has an appointment for Wednesday afternoon to see the vet.
I hope he just bruised something! Goodness, it has been one thing after the other with these two boys! :D
Yes Leslie, it does seem that way. With Archie it is constant worry. I feel so lost about things with him.
On Monday I was afraid Raleigh had broken something in his leg or pulled it pretty bad. By Tuesday morning it was much better and by the afternoon he wasn't limping at all. I cancelled his vet appointment for Wed. This morning he is limping again. This time I know he didn't jump off the furniture. So we'll see what happens. He is due for his semi-annual check-up soon. I'll see about taking care of two things at once.
It could be arthritis.
Sharlene,
Raleigh's had problems before and we were thinking it was arthritis. On Monday it was so bad. Never saw it like that before. Scoop had arthritis in his front legs. I want to make sure the vet checks it at his regular check-up. I worry because my daughter's dog, Bowser had trouble but with his back legs. Now he has cancer. I don't know if his cancer started in his back legs but the vet said it's possible it started somewhere else and spread to his heart and lungs. So I have that in my mind and I worry. You just never know. It's so scary.
What about Lyme disease? Lameness of the limb/s is a symptom of Lyme.
Keep us updated and I hope soon things start turning around for you and your sweet boys.
Love and hugs, Lori
Thanks Lori
Lyme is something that will be checked for at his check-up.
Archie has his blood work done yesterday. Should hear the results today.
Praying it shows some improvement.
Archie's latest ALT on his blood work is 163 , down from 284 in Dec., Ref range is 18-121. It is still high but at least it came down!
YAY! Good news finally for this sweet baby! Good work, Mom!
