As some of you know, I took Eddison to the emergency vet last night for a hurt front paw.
I told her that he was picking up the paw, and seemed to be shifting weight off of it. Today, he has been grinding his teeth, despite have 0.4ml of Metacam about 12 hours ago. (I insisted on pain relief, but she thought I was nuts. :roll
My question is... she didn't take any x-rays, but simply observed him walking on it and palpated the area to feel for a break. Should she have taken an x-ray? If it's broken, how would I know?
