I have a 7 year old lab/chow mix male dog. In 06 he had torn his left knee ligaments {Acl}. He had surgery and has been fine. On 11/26/08 he hurt the other leg. He is on Rimadyl 75mg twice a day and had X-rays done on 12/2/08. Our Vet said the x-rays looked good as in hips and arthritis. I asked how they know the Ligaments is totally torn and was told that when he was under anesthesia she could feel that it was. My questions are without surgery can he lead a normal as can be life and is there another pain drug that can be used? He has been on Glucosamine for the past few years and is still taking that?

Cat vaccine reaction???
Posted on 2008/12/03 by UserI just adopted an adult female tortie kitty. My other cat at home is used to strange cats/kittens coming in, (we foster for a rescue) and the most she ever does is his and run away if they pester her. I've been home since I brought the new kitty home, and either she or my other cat have been with me at all times. I was sitting on the sofa with my newly adopted girl, when noticed she had a swollen lump by her right hip. Its warm to the touch, and it appears to have been a little over-groomed, so I think she's been messing with it. It feels as though its filled with fluid, kind of squishy, not unlike a hernia.
