Ellie Update - after xrays

As you all know Ellie has been having problems going lame. The past couple of weeks she has been her mad self running about like a looney and going her walks. I decided to get her booked in for an x-ray to see what was exactly going on.

Right here goes....... Ellie did twist her hip. What has happened is she has twisted where the ball goes into the socket joining the hip, this is causing the hip to pop. The Vet took 3 x-rays - one with her lying flat on her back stretched out, one of the right side and one of the right leg as he wanted to check the stifle and around that area too. He checked her this morning (Thursday 30 June) and she was ready to nip him when he pulled the right hip.

The Vet showed me the x-rays and talked me through them. There is quite a cap between the ball and the socket, compared to the left side (there shouldn't be as big a gap) He feels that with rest and what I am doing this should repair itself hopefully in a couple months and then if all goes well paws-crossed Ellie can go back to agility next year. Ellie has been on a supplement called "Yumove" since mid-April. I have had good feedback from friends whose dogs have been lame and now are not. She has nice white teeth now as the Vet Nurse cleaned them all. Now I need to maintain them, this will be fun!

Here are some fun pics of Ellie & Khandi
