If it’s a disk injury (no way to know for certain, at least not without a very, VERY expensive MRI, but I’m thinking that’s a prime suspect given the symptoms) he can’t be adjusted – at least not until several weeks have passed. I am going to try to talk to his chiro after the weekend anyway and see if I can get him in somewhere for acupuncture.

He’s not acting painful – he’s acting very much like himself, though very put out at not being allowed to DO anything. And knock on wood no additional episodes. But his mid-lumbar region is definitely very sore on exam and was still sore when they re-examined him after 1 week of rest.

My vet is the one who needs to listen to Granny Toni – I thought it made sense, especially when I remembered him wiping out in my hallway, but she totally “pooh-pooh’d” the “hurt his back” theory.

If this doesn’t fix it, the next step’s an MRI, but they’d have to do an AWFUL lot of convincing to make me think that’s worth doing, as an MRI would cost around $1,800!!!!!
