Vet Follow up

Miley had her appt. with the vet. Everything went well. They didnt need to sedate her to get the x-rays. They took hip x-rays and x-rays of her lower back. She examined her before the x-rays and felt Miley was less reactive then Saturday but still did react to the rotating and pulling back of her left leg. She did the x-rays and then wanted to examine her again because of all the pulling of the legs when you do hip x-rays. This time she did a rectal exam so she could feel the muscles that run along side like the Ilisopoas muscle. When she felt to the right, no reaction. When she felt to the left, that muscle was spasming. Poor Miley. All the x-rays were normal. So now we have an appt. on Friday the 13th with a Dr. Gillis. She has a lot of experience doing ultrasounds. She use to live in California but now lives in South Carolina. Her background includes treating race horses. She also would do ultrasounds on dead race horses ( apparently race horses all get necropsied when they die)and then do the necropsy and see if what she found on ultrasound was consistent with what she found on examination and microscopic exam. So thats where we are right. Just waiting. I couldnt get an appt. sooner because there is a big animal rehab conference in Auburn, Al.this week. So everyone involved with rehab is going there.
