Hi Guys.
Dudley has been limping when he first gets up from sleeping - just for a few minutes and then he walks it off (rear right leg). Vet suggested we watch it for now as long as he continues to walk it off after a few minutes.
Yesterday he went in to get groomed and has not been able to put much, if any, pressure on it at all since. His rear back leg actually now points outward, toe touching, hurts to sit (when he does, it sideways). All classic symptoms of a complete tear.
I'm taking him in at Noon today to the Vet.
He does have insurance, which I am grateful for right now!
Is there a big risk in postponing surgery for a few weeks, if needed? My husband and I both have business trips in the next few weeks and won't be home together until May 27th. Would this cause more damage to wait? I'd rather do this with help...
Advice please?
