IMG_6585 Ricky's leg

Nothing broken, but signs that made the vet suspicious that he may have osteosarcoma, a particularly aggressive form of cancer. He remarked about the thin outside of the bone at the top. I noticed more of a curve in that bone. I have to go back in two weeks for another x-ray. I asked if that wasn't too soon to notice a change and the dr. said that in two weeks there could be a lot of change. He was given very strong pain pills. In order to photograph this I had to put it on a slide viewer - thus the vertical lines.

Canon PowerShot A610
1/4s f/5.0 at 7.3mm full exif

I just scrolled over here having seen your Ricky picture for today. Poor little fellow: may he heal and regain his vim and vigour.
