Am i doing the right thing? General Dog Discussions
Three weeks ago my dog had a sore neck and was limping so took him to vet. Vet said it was prob a sprain and advised rest and pain killers. Vet said if it was no better in 2 weeks he would xray him. Well he did get better although not 100% then yesterday he chased a cat in our garden and came in crying in pain and wouldnt lift his head much. He settled eventually but last night later on he came to me howling with pain and he comes to me to do something about it but i couldn t do anything.Anyway this morning he seems ok but i made an appointment for him to get xrays but hubby says that it is a waste of money as the vet will not be able to do anything anyway.We do have insurance but the excess is £100 and the xrays and past treatment are going to be about £200 all in.Hubby says that the dog is a wimp - which is true - he is a rescued greyhound but i just feel i need to do something for him. Plus he is to get a full anaesthetic which will really frighten him. What would you doIt was the vet who said to try pain killers first not me and the dog is booked in to have xrays under anaesthetic tomorrow but hubby is not happy.
