Default What did I hear?

Why does anything amiss with our animals make us CRAZY? I get so
scared at the vet's, I can't listen well.*
Mac was diagnosed with mild displasia two years ago, but has been
symptom free. Last night, he stopped putting weight on a hind leg. The
vet wasn't sure this morning if it's a bruised foot or pain from the
hip. Wait and see for two days: "And _give him the Rimadyl, this time;
I promise it won't kill him."
I've been haunted for two years that hip replacement looms. The vet
said it'll not be necessary. I _think he said mild displasia doesn't
become severe displasia, but can worsen because of arthritic
involvement. Does that square with anyone's experience?
This vet, btw, was one of those who developed the U. of Penn. system
for hip evaluation, so he should know hips. I better take a tape
recorder Friday. Can you think of questions I should ask?

*Occurs to me: I'm totally indifferent to what doctors or dentists do to
me. Why are our animals different? Because they seem so vulnerable?
