We've been have a really difficult time.
Darwin's mobility isn't very good at all. Also he's been really struggling with his crate rest.

We rushed back to the vets on Wednesday expecting to have to say goodbye to him, but he's still with us thankfully  Every vertabrae in Darwin's spine is effected and surgery is no longer an option as it would not give much improvement.

The outlook isn't good as the vet started to talk about Darwin's quality of life. As a result were reducing his period of cage rest. So maybe we can get a balance between Darwin mobility and his happiness .

So when one of us can sit with / supervise we're allowing him to spend time in his day bed instead of the pop up crate we had been using in the lounge during the day.  He seems so much happier, he obviously was depressed being on crate rest.  Additionally instead of trying to walk in circles around the garden until he does his business were taking him for mini walks.  He was virtually bouncing off the walls with excitement once we mentioned "walk".

We're just going to take one day at a time and hopefully we can all enjoy what little time we have left with Darwin

I'm so sorry, my heart goes out to you.  This must be so hard for you and I am hoping and praying that Darwin enjoys his mini walks for a long long time yet.

Thinking of you and Darwin.

Am so sorry to hear this (I met a couple in the summer where one of them was disabled and thus rode a bike for his needs while his wife rode her bike ahead of him pulling a trailer/buggy thing with a little cocker in who had similar problem to Darwin - the little cocker thus managed to get out and about with his owners and enjoyed the trips out with them)

I cannot find the right words to say how sorry I am to read this, but I know that your decision to give Darwin a quality of life and take each days as it comes is the right one. 

Embrace each moment, your are giving Darwin, all the love and support and your darling boy will know that as somehow are little friends do know that we are doing the best for them always.

Your friends at COL are here for you.

So very sorry to read that Darwin is not recovering as well as you (and all of us) had hoped.  You're right that it has to be his quality of life - wishing you lots of lovely times ahead with Darwin  :luv:
