Poor Beau. I am so glad you're getting him right into the vets.
I will hope he only has a minor strain a few days rest and some meds for the pain get him back in shape really quickly.
All the best, and your pack is absolutely gorgeous!
All the best, and let us know when you get back from the vet.

Just returned from the vet. The good news is that Beau did not rupture his ACL as initially suspected. The BAD news is he most probably has bone cancer. My regular vet took numerous x-rays and there is a suspicious spot on the femur. It is difficult to be certain because Beau has no femoral heads and the "lesion" is located in that area. The radiologist won't be in until Wed. to read the films so I am remaining hopeful that he is wrong. He is hoping the same but he had the three other vets in the office all look at the films and the concensus was the same.
I am numb at the moment and trying to keep positive that this is just a bump in the road. My heart is hurting at the moment.....
Now the waiting begins until Wed when the x-rays are read.

Please keep us in your thoughts and send us positive energy that there is no cancer in his bone.

Thank you so much. I have been reading your posts over the past few weeks with tears welling up in my eyes.
The waiting is so difficult but in a way, not knowing the probable truth keeps me hopeful.
My dear, Beau, has brought such joy to my home that whatever the outcome I will stay positive for his sake...he so derserves that consideration.
I hope I can stay strong for both of my senior Goldens as they go through the changes they are currently experiencing.
Thank-you!

Today is a better day! Beau is doing his funny little dance today, where he spins around, tail wagging vigorously. He is not favoring his rear leg nearly as much as yesterday. I don't know if that is a result of the medication or, perhaps, hope of hopes, they were WRONG about his diagnosis.
Tomorrow we will know but today...well, we enjoy today!

So happy to hear Beau is doing his happy dance! Praying the vet is wrong. Sending good thoughts your way.

Well I got a touch of good news today...The other day the vet took needle aspirates of a couple of hard lumps on Beau. Beau, literally has dozens of fatty tumors but these felt different. One came back as a fatty tumor and the other was "inconclusive" so he is gojng to redo it tomorrow at no charge.
Tomorrow we should hear on the radiologist report and I have an appointment on Friday with the specialist should they be unable to determine the bone problem.
I am thinking the good news will continue and am keeping positive. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts. Beau and I feel the positive energy.

Oh Andrea, I'm just seeing this. I'm hoping the positive news keeps coming in. You, Baylee and Beau (Baxter too) will be in my prayers. Hugs to you all from Augie and I.
