Joey Update #3

Joey is back home! He came home Thursday after a full day at the animal clinic. They did a bunch of x-rays and the nurses said he slept the whole time. It turns out that he has a bunch of torn ligaments around his knees. So there is not much holding his legs together. He also has lost a ton of muscle mass in his legs. They think that the leg problems led to the arthritis. I am not sure where we go from here with him, but I will continue to update the blog with info about Joey's health. Please send your good thoughts in his direction.

Joey Update

We called the vet to tell him that Joey has not been making any progress with his arthritis and asked him if there is something more we should be doing for Joey's arthritis. He said that we should get an x-ray of his leg to see if Joey has something in the leg. He said that One time he had a dog that he treated for arthritis for many months who, like Joey, made no progress. The dog got an x-ray and they found out the dog had a sewing needle in his leg!! So early tomorrow morning Sue will be taking Joey to a animal clinic somewhere so Joey can get an x-ray. Lets hope that through this we can get a final definitive answer as to why Joey is making so progress. Of course, I will continue to give updates about Joey's health on this blog.
