I recently noticed that Jana was limping. She was favoring her left front paw. She wasn’t limping all the time, but it was definitely worse in the evenings and after play sessions.
I took her to see her chiropractor, Dr. Patricia Jamison. Dr. Jamison has a long relationship with Jana and has also helped Oriel with pain and structural problems. But, after a couple of pretty serious adjustments, Jana was still sore. On Dr. Jamison’s advice, I called Dr. Callum Hay at Veterinary Surgical Services.
Dr. Jamison assured me that Dr. Hay was the best in the area for diagnosing soft tissue and limb problems, and that he’s truly devoted to the dogs (and cats) and “not in it for the money.” His office, on Paula Drive in Tampa, is not fancy, and, she assured me, the cost would be reasonable.
If anything, she understated things.
