How are the pain meds going?
I think you need to give the pain meds a chance before you consider an x-ray.

It’s only 0.03ml a day, she looks good today she’s having a big drink has I type. Looks like she’s been in the sand bath for a change. Maybe it is old age, cos she drinking and eating. It’s like she has good and bad days

That's barely enough to fill the tip of the syringe, are you sure they have the dosage right?
What painkiller is she on?

I'd check with your vet that they've got it right. I think bouncy (metacam) has hers on 0.1ml and Sphene is on 0.3ml (meloxidyl). 0.03ml just doesn't sound right to me, I could be wrong, but I'd give your vet a call to make sure. Meloxaid, meloxidyl and metacam are basically the same thing.

What concentration is it? Does it say anywhere something about % or for cats or dogs? Do you have a full bottle or have they put some in separate bottle for you?
Starting doses can be in the region of 1 to 3 drops, I don't think the higher doses have filtered through to all vets for degus.

Yep. Mine have dog strength, which is 3x that of cat strength. This is 1.5 mg per ml of meloxicam.

Nice bike! Thats the same meds as Sphene is on and she has 0.3ml once a day. As bouncy has said, hers are on 0.1ml a day. It may be worth asking your vet if you can increase it to 0.1ml, but DON'T increase the dose WITHOUT checking with your vet first.
