<p>Hi Susan</p>

<p>When the specialist examined him she said that his lymph glands were normal so i accepted this but i will contact her again regarding this as i don't know anything about these glands and why they would 'be up' as the vet put it and normal when she checked them.

<p>When the specialist examined him she said that his lymph glands were normal so i accepted this but i will contact her again regarding this as i don't know anything about these glands and why they would 'be up' as the vet put it and normal when she checked them. To be honest with you i'm so relieved that Murfee is so well now that i'm concentrating on this now he's playful again at home not limping or anything and running at speed and not resting with regard to the calcium deficiency she is putting this down possibly to diet but i am treating him with prescribed homeopathic remedies to help him absorb the calcium as i don't believe it's his diet because he eats plenty of bones so no he wasn't xrayed as i said before the orthopaedic sp couldn't find any evidence of dysplaysia and i didnt want to put him through sedation unnecessarily she agreed that his symptoms were probably caused by vaccination and she has informed the vet of this for any alternative when next due</p> That is great news, Teresa!

<p>That is great news, Teresa! I hope Murfee does just fine from now on.</p>
<p>Weird that you should get three different opinions/diagnosis from three experts...</p>

<p>I would be careful vaccinated in the future, if you need to it is better to do when the weather is cooler than hot. The stress from hot weather and vaccines can cause a reaction. Glad your boy is doing better</p>

<p>Hi everyone GOOD NEWS went to see the orthopaedic specialist today and he said that he cant't find any evidence of elbow dysplaysia he thoroughly checked his legs and spine and didn't think it necessary to xray or scan him as there are no symptoms - Murfee is not limping anymore is happy to go for walks again and tears around without resting anymore so his lethargy seems to have disappeared he asked me if he was on any medication i said homeopathic remedies and listed them out.

<p>Hi everyone GOOD NEWS went to see the orthopaedic specialist today and he said that he cant't find any evidence of elbow dysplaysia he thoroughly checked his legs and spine and didn't think it necessary to xray or scan him as there are no symptoms - Murfee is not limping anymore is happy to go for walks again and tears around without resting anymore so his lethargy seems to have disappeared he asked me if he was on any medication i said homeopathic remedies and listed them out. I think he had a bad reaction to booster and that with the help of the prescribed remedies he got himself better - only my theory but hey the so called experts got it wrong and frightened the life out of me in the process. I asked about the slightly low calcium and he said could be dietary i will look into this further myself if his lethargy returns i'll think about thyroid blood test although vet said it was fine</p>
