Subject: Gnocchi's visit summary

Hi Mr. Miles,

Thank you for bringing Gnocchi to Ridgecrest Animal Hospital today. Here is a summary of his visit so you have everything in one place.

Why Gnocchi came in
Gnocchi had been limping on his right back leg for 3 days and yelping when he jumped off the couch.

What Dr. Alma Landry found

Gnocchi's right knee was painful and had mild swelling.
His kneecap sits where it should, and the test for a torn knee ligament (the drawer sign) was negative.
The X-ray of his right knee showed no broken bones and a small amount of extra fluid in the joint.
Dr. Landry's assessment is a soft tissue sprain.

What we did today

Examined Gnocchi and took an X-ray of his right knee
Gave a meloxicam injection in the clinic
