Limping
cassie is a 10 year old Labrador Retreiver who has developed a stiffining in her left leg. Her paws seem in no pain or when massasging her leg or paw, no reaction or pulling back. When this condition arose, we immediately took her to a vet who put her on 100mg Rimidyl. Now vet requests x-rays at $155 and sedation at $165. This is expensive for us on retirement. Cassie jumps and leaps and tugs on her leash happily when out in the snow (we live in Ohio.) When in the snow, she is as active as ever. Any suggestions on another procedure not involving putting her under sedation? I contribute regularly to DELTA Rescue.

Thank you for your contributions. Your dog does need to have xrays to define the condition and make sure there is no other treatment required. The need for sedation is predicated by the need for your pet to be perfectly still for the xrays. Consider getting another estimate from another veterinarian, but you should proceed with xrays.
