A week ago my boy Buckley developed a mild limp in the front right leg that would seem to come and go. It was noticeable first thing in the morning then periodically throughout the day.
We took him to the vet Wednesday after no change. The doctor manipulated his leg and joints to try and get a reaction. Said maybe Pano, prescribed rimadyl, and said to check back and maybe do radiographs if it didn't improve.
We had them done this morning and the vet has diagnosed OCD in the shoulder and FCP in the elbow. He said the OCD is a mild case compared to what he's used to seeing. The FCP he's less confident in diagnosing the Xrays have been sent out for review by a specialist. Now I wish I had asked where or who, but I wasn't really thinking at the time. Below are pictures of the Xrays.
