Vet suspected the Cruciate. After booking in for xrays it turns out
that the cruciate ligament is fine. MAny xrays from different angles
and the vet concluded that that the dog possibly has a torn muscle.
SImalar perhaps to a weight lifter tearing a muscle and having to rest
and nurse that muscel until it repears. He feels that the tear maybe
in the haunch somewhere. ANyway, she appears well having rested her
for the last couple of weeks, though yahooing and rabbit chasing are
prohibited.

thanks for the input. Cheers.

P.S. Scuse spelling
