Thank you ALL for your kind thoughts....
Has any one Else had similar problems with there cocker's ..After running around..... for them to go of there legs like are Peggy has!!!!!
Last September Dennis slipped a disc
We got up that morning and he was reluctant to come down stairs , i thought at the time it was because i was making the beds and he didnt want to go down with my hubby. Then he had a short walk he seemed ok when he got back he didnt want to get on the sofa which wasnt like him and i thought he might not be feeling well
but i never expected anything like what happened not 10 mins later
I walked into the dinning room and his back end collapsed and he was screaming in pain
i rushed him up to my vets where he was given several injections for pain etc . Then he was refered instantly to Chestergates but i had to come home and get all my insurance details because they wouldnt see him without sorting out the finances 1st and making sure that they would pay up
The scan showed that he had slipped a disc and that the centre of the disc had shot out and there was alot of bleeding around his spine. He had surgery to remove the disc and clots etc. Dennis was paralysed and lost control of his bladder (he wasnt able to have a wee ) it is a very long recovery for him and he wont ever be the same again
but hes here and hes happy.
The vet at Chestergates said she had seen a quite a few cockers with IVDD , i know that Cathy (catcmartin ) had similar problems to Dennis with Charlie. I know that there are several grades of IVDD and the lower grades can be managed without surgery.
I really hope that its good news for Peggy
i know just how worried and upset you will be right now not knowing exactly whats wrong.
