After 3 months and several vets we finally have an answer for Baron's limping, and the news is not good. Even though I'm a nurse I'm still confused. Apparently the growth plate closed too early at Baron's right shoulder. He has a gap where part of it is supposed to close over the joint. The humerus is longer than the ulna and has started to bow outward. According to the vet there is nothing we can do except watch for the early arthritis to set in and give him rimadyl when he is having a bad day. There will be no running or jumping for Baron and only moderate exercise allowed. As I'm writing this Baron is running around chasing the cats. blissfully unaware of the diagnosis.
