As the chiro improved things, but didn't seem to address the underlying issue, I took Dylan back to see the vet. Ian examined him thoroughly and found his back to be extremely sore and stiff (Dylan yelped too). So Flash had x-rays on Friday, 16th July. The result is that he has a lesion on the lumbar part of his spine that causes muscle spasms and quite some pain.
The x-rays have been sent to the Fitzpatrick Referral Centre and we should have an answer as to our next step by the middle of the week.
In the mean time I have put Dylan on Green Lipped Mussle Extract and Devil's Claw and he seems more comfortable. He shows no pain anymore in every day life, though I will of course not take him to agility anymore as I don't want to aggravate the lesion/damage in his spine.
