hey gang - well, the stain results came back all clear, no organisms found to be concerned about and he is all healed up, fur coming back in already too. However, we had to take him in yesterday due to a three day limp that was not getting any better.
We did x-rays and his knee is find, hips are not great some flattening of the ball joint, but no signs of arthritis. The new issue is his spine, he has fused and deformed vertebra, which seems to be more common in our bully babies than we like to believe. Lambeau will be taking Rimadyl for a couple weeks and starting laser sessions to lessen the inflammation. So, now Cheli will have a partner at the monthly laser therapy.
Here is a shot of the x-ray, if you look at the circled area, you can see the deformed disks... dead center of his back - no more jumping off furniture or coming down stairs for awhile.
