Jake, cont'd

We got a 2nd opinion from the vet and she did not recommend surgery. She suggested him taking an anti-inflammatory and no exercise for 2 weeks and then another 2 weeks without the drug (with little exercise). We will then go back for another x-ray. She said it either was a deviated growth plate or inflammation. She couldn't tell either way, but she did confirm it was due to injury. So, we'll see what happens in about a month.
