Plan of Action
1. Draw preliminary bloodwork looking for any indications of dietary imbalance and to 
look for inflammation in case there was trauma
2. Set appointment for radiographs under sedation. At this time, we would like to repeat 
the orthopedic exam, including palpation of all the rear limb joints, looking for 
cranial drawer in the stifles, and repeating the ortalani procedure. Make sure we do 
this on the Right side since we were unable to due to pain in the awake patient. 
Radiographs at mininum should consist of a lateral and ventrodorsal of the pelvic 
region. The VD view should be done with the legs pulled out and turned in to 
enhance the view of the pelvic joint area. The lateral view should be right and left 
lateral usually with the down leg pulled forward and the upleg pulled back.May want 
to also do radiographs of the stifles in lateral and VD ( can be on same view as pelvis 
in some animals). No further daignostics until radiographs completed.
