Weird Symptoms - any suggestions???

Hi All, I have an OES - she is at present 7 years old. Last week, she suddenly started to limp on her right front leg, she was lethargic and squeaked everytime we tried to move her, she did not even want to chase our cat (a thing she loves to do). Took her to the vet, bloodtests, xrays of her internal organs and a follow-up ultrasound showed nothing. They have sent for a T-test to Univ. of Michigan which will take 3 threes for possible thyroid problems.
Over the weekend the limp has lessened, but she still squeaks particularly when we touch around her head and neck, she is drinking gallons of water. At present she is taking aspirin and we have another Vet appt. on Wednesday.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions. I would be so grateful, she is my daughter, my life.

Thanks a million :cry:

I don't have any suggestions for you, but you and your girl will be in my prayers through Wednesday.

I too add my prayers and thoughts to you and your little girl. I wish I had some possible answers, but cannot really come up with any, and it sounds like you are doing all you can in conjuction with your vet to find out what the problem is.

Sometimes I know I wish I spoke "sheepie" to understand what they were trying to say to us, especially when they are not feeling well. But she knows that you are doing the best you can as a mere human to help her. And we all know that hugs are a universal healing language, so give her lots of those, ok?

My thoughts and prayers.
