Hi there!
It sounds like your dog is experiencing some discomfort after their X-ray, which isn't uncommon. The handling and positioning during X-rays could lead to a bit of soreness, especially if your dog has any existing health issues like arthritis. Also, sometimes the pressure of lying still on a hard surface can cause temporary discomfort.
At home, ensure your furry friend has a cozy and quiet place to rest. If they seem stiff, gentle massages and applying a warm (not hot) compress to the area can help soothe them. Encouraging light activity rather than intense exercise can also be beneficial in keeping them limber.
Keep an eye out for signs like whining, a reluctance to move, limping, or an apparent lack of appetite, as these may indicate that the pain is more severe. If your dog seems unusually distressed or these symptoms persist, it might be time to consider a deeper dive into what could be causing the pain.
It would be a good idea to book a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet to discuss your dog’s symptoms in more detail and see if they need further medical attention. We’re here to help ensure your pup stays happy and comfy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
