Pooch
So, this morning when I took Jo outside to do the boys I noticed that she was walking on her sore leg so that she could keep the front leg on that side off the ground. Ominous. I stuck the boys in the field and came back to find her sitting holding the leg up to me, so I checked the pad in case she had a thorn or something in it. No sign of anything, and when I put the leg back down she whimpered so loudly and long that the boys came running over from the other end of the field to see what the problem was.
I called the vet, and was told that she one she's been seeing (who owns the practice, and lives up the hill from us) was in work but not being a vet today (paperwork). As it happened, he needed to come home anyway to check on something at home so he stopped in to see Jo on the way.
She's got a big lump at the shoulder joint on the front leg, and he's not sure what that means. If she was running and jumping about as normal, he'd think she'd hurt it out in the woods. It might just be that she's stressed the joint because she's resting the other leg, but he seemed to go off that idea once he found the lump. Or it might always be cancer, but if it is then the timing is very odd, just as she's come off her metacam.
He's given her an injection of onsior, another NSAID, and she's going in to have x-rays and maybe a biopsy in the morning. Still, he's pleased she's stopped throwing up!
