Poor Parker.....
« on: August 21, 2006, 04:31:12 PM »
My poor little Parkety is undergoing major spine surgery as I type this  :'(

Further to my post regarding him having a slipped disc, our vet referred him to a specialist and we had an appointment there this morning.  He confirmed that Parker has a problem between the vertebrate at the top of his neck, whereby the gooey stuff in the middle (technical term that!) is leaking out and putting pressure on the spinal cord.

So, he is undergoing an operation known as 'Fenestration' when they make holes in the bottom of the vertebrate to allow the gooey stuff to seep out the bottom where it does no harm, rather than the top where it puts pressure on the spinal cord.

He will be in hospital until at least Wednesday.

Keep all your fingers and toes crossed for him, please  :'( :'(

Fingers, toes and paws crossed.

Hope Parker is feeling a lot better after his 'procedure'.  Please keep us updated with his progress.

Lots of cocker hugs from Mollie & Daisy :luv:

Oh poor lad.  :'(

It must be a very worrying time for you.  I hope everything goes well during the operation and that he'll soon be back home with you, though Wednesday seems an age away I bet.  :-\


My three pooches are sending you and Parker hugs and sloppy kisses.  :-*

Keep us up to date on his progress.

Thank you all for your thoughts and wishes - I'll let him know everyone is thinking about him!

I've just spoken to the vet and he has come through the operation well and will be able to come home on Wednesday.  She warned that he will get worse before he gets better because there will be massive amounts of swelling etc.  But, he will be so much happier as the pain (which must have been constant, yet he seldom grumbled, bless him) will be gone for good  :lol:

I just want to get him home now!  They said they will ring tomorrow and let me know how he's getting on, so I'll keep everyone posted.
