Next: See a Specialist

On Monday I took Rio's x-rays to Dr. Butler's office. While we were there we got a urine sample to see if he had a bladder infection. After I retrieved said specimen Rio must have twisted his left leg. He was crying for about 30 seconds. I felt so helpless. I called into the office and a vet tech came out to see if she could see why Rio was crying.

We didn't see anything. Another vet gave Rio a quick once over. By that point he was his self again.

Today (Tuesday) Rio was low energy again. Dr. Butler called to say she didn't see anything in the x-rays either. She recommends Rio see a specialist so she is going to write up a referral to the practice where Rio had a MRI when he was in foster care. She said that if it were a sprain he should have/or be on the way to mending. She's suggesting an orthopedic specialist with a possible neuro consult.

Sigh.
