Bradley's got a Boo Boo

Yesterday, Bradley jump down off the bed and a few seconds later I saw him come back in the room and limping. So, I took him to the vet first thing this morning. He had some x-rays done and turns out it's an elbow sprain front left leg. During the check up the Doc also wanted to check his hips. Turns out he has hip dysplasia on his left hip causing arthritis. However, he doesn't need surgery (just yet, maybe when he's an old man) we can put him on a treatment plan of joint chews, diet, and regular exercise. His sprain should heal in about two week and start him on a good regimen to keep him happy & healthy. For now, he's needs plenty of rest, especially the next 48 hours, and the pain meds will help with the inflammation for both the elbow and his hip. Glad we went in today so he could finally be diagnosed and treated.  Molli is helping me take care of Brad with TLC.
