It's now 2 weeks since my last update.
Darwin is so much happier now that's he's not on total cage rest. He doesn't have much energy but just wants to sleep in his day bed.

He's developed an arch / curve to his back and seems to walk as if he's a slinky, he's tail just doesn't stop whilst he's on his 5 minute works  :luv:

We're finding it hard to adjust that he's now an oldie at age 7. Due to the nerve damaged caused by his relaspe and our lives are now totally focused around managing his bowel movements. Also once I get home from work at lunch time I can't really leave him, he needs to be supervised and if I'm not in sight he'll get out of his bed and can easily fall over

Oh bless him, all I can say to you is I feel that you are giving him a better quality of life at this very sad stage in his little life, and we know our little cockers, he understands the love and commitment you give him everyday, that is what he gives back to you :luv:

Sending positive thoughts and a gentle hug to Darwin.
Cocker kisses and cuddles just make my day!


You are always with me darlings Jaypup and my precious Oliver you are so missed

It's seems as though we go full circle in life - as a baby we need constant care and attention plus sleep a lot - as we get old and infirm so the level of care increases and sleep takes over once again.  My Grandma was like this for around 18 months before she died.

I'm sorry Darwin isn't improving.  It sounds as though he is getting the very best of care and loving his walks  :D long may it continue for you and him - more happy memories to make yet xx

Re: Please pray for Darwin - Birthday Update

I'm so pleased to be posting an update today, as because everything that's happened in the past 11 months we never believed that Darwin would be celebrating his 8th birthday today.

Our last vet visit was just before Xmas. The vet was very surprised with Darwin's progress as a month previously we had nearly been at a stage of saying good bye to him. Even since Xmas he seems slightly stronger and much happier, he's pottering around the house much more and seems more interested in every day activities .

Yet every day is a challenge as due to nerve damage he's no longer clean in the house.

I'll post a couple of photos later today
