Title: Troy at the vet's again with his shoulder...

OH took him to the vet's this morning as he is limping again quite badly despite glucosamine supplements. Will update as soon as OH has given me an update.

Troy needs x-rays. Our vet said it was time now to have a closer look at what is going on... :( Vera

Awww Vera i hope they can find out what is wrong with Troys shoulder , it is such a worry when you know theres something not right eh? Of course now he needs xrays you have the anesthetiuc to worry about as well :( I will keep everything crossed that everything goes well and you get to the bottoms of his problems
I give Akira glucosamine but since she was diagnosed with HD i have also been giving her Green Lipped Mussel and so far she has been really well with no signs of being in pain at all , i cant remember if you give that to Troy or not? But it could be worth a try ?

The x-rays have come back clear, thank god. My vet is getting another vet to have a look at the x-rays too to confirm this, but he reckons that it is soft tissue damage! Hydropool, here we come again! :)
Fiona, what green mussle supplement are you using for Akira?

I meant to ask you Vera did you decide to try the Rapinovet / Propofol for Troy this time? Just cos im a nosey parker and wondered if he came around better because of that? :D

I didn't Fiona. As Mark, our vet knew about how long it took Troy last time to get back to normal and as I trust him fully, I figured that I wouldn't stick my beak in this time and let him work it out himself. And he has... Troy was as right as rain when OH picked him up and when I got home, very waggely and barky... as usual! :lol: So Mark must have been ever so careful with him and I shall let him know that whatever he did (or didn't do) worked!
