[AlpacaTalk] Bone Tumor
Hi all,
For several months later last year, I noticed my Lil bottle baby girl, Brandie, was favoring her front right leg. When Brandie would turn say to the left, she would sort of drag her right leg around, not putting much weight on it. Some times she would stumble when she was walking. I had a suspicion something might be wrong shortly after she was born, but this didnt show its self fully untill she was about nine months old, Started out with off and on limping.
I had the vet out the end of Dec 08. After paplating from her foot up, when Amy got to her shoulder ( I believe it is actually in her elbow, but not sure ) Amy was way up past what I would call the elbow, but from the skeleton pic in the Big Book, not sure if an xray could be taken there, Brandie let me know that that HURT. She turned her head and looked me right in the eye.
Today, I finally got a call back from the vet, Amy. She had been waiting on OSU to read the xrays. From what they can figure out, compairing to other species, it looks like Brandie has a bone tumor. She was one year old on 20 Nov 08.
OSU suggested a bone biopsy. Amy suggested waiting and taking another set of xrays in a month.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
