I took Darwin to our own vets this morning.
They're not overly worries about his knee problem. A luxcating patella, but only grade 1.  We haven't previously noticed any problem and it could be linked in to his spinal problems.
He has spinal pain in the area surrounding his three ruptured vertebrae, which is concerning, but not uncommon.  So its a week of complete crate rest and then well see how things are.

Darwin is already completely bored.  So if any one has any idea of how I can keep him I'm not keen on giving him a kong.

Can't help with the boredom issue, but hoping and praying a good rest makes all the difference.  :bigarmhug:

We've had a weekly check up at the Vets, but with the senior partner

The good news is he doesn't think there's a knee problem
But it's not just a relaspe, it's another ruptured disc, so that the 4th! It's not pressing on his spine so should heal on its own, no need for an MRI or surgery at present. Just 8 weeks of cage rest, with a check up in four weeks.

That means that by xmas day ( freedom hopefully) Darwin will have spent 15 weeks of the last 9 months on cage rest.

It's been a very difficult week as it's so demoralising reliasing we've done so so much but we can't prevent another disc going, it'll just be a case of when. We've made the decision that we wont do another spinal surgery

My heart goes out to you.  I really hope that a few more weeks rest is all that Darwin needs to put everything right.

Thinking of you both.
