Hello , we are new here & look forward to the interactions ahead.

he gets his X-rays tomorrow morning so all my fingers are crossed , his improvement has give me hope , he shows no signs of pain and even sits down on the bad leg and sleeps on that side to , he puts pressure on it and even stood up on both back legs that can only be a good sign I hope . Thanks for letting me know thats the kind of price I should expect , I have been with this clinic for 8 years the only concern is recently they moved to a new facility & so far all the people working there now I have never seen before .

He has made some improvement in the last few days , He still holds it of the ground most of the time but I watch him and he does put pressure down on it and even stood on his both hind legs Thanks for the reply , I will ask the vet about Meloxycam

Hello all new user here , I have 2 jack Russell's 8 years old & in the last few days one has injured his back right leg , I took him to the Vet and they did all the checks they could on the day and Now I am booked in for X-Rays with hopes of getting a definitive answer to the problem , My question is cost and should I get a 2nd opinion ? X-ray of his back right leg cost $550 is this typical ? and If he need surgery for cranial cruciate ligament of his right back leg which the vet thinks it may be that would be another $5500.00 , Now as a pensioner thats a big number , any advice would be appreciated .
