Thanks all.  :D

We collected Willow at tea time and she ran to my father and I in the corridor.  ;)

The specialist described yesterday as a 'mystery' how she was lame in the morning and running about by the evening. After talking with the specialist he isnt ruling out meningitis coming back or the on set of poly arthritis as both of these have peaks and troughs but he didnt think the peaks and troughs could be so vast in just a few hours. We have to monitor her over the weekend and if we are still concerned he will undertake the tests under anesthetic on Monday. He didnt want to do the tests for the sake of it today when she had made such good progress in a few hours. She is on anti-biotics for her tummy. Due to her progress the specialist was thinking it could be a bug.

She was quite alert on and off on the journey home, seemed starving when we got her home and following a lovely meal of chicken and rice she crashed out for a very deep sleep for most of the evening. Her neck movement and ability to put pressure on her back legs alone isnt back to normal so that is slightly concerning. And where her ears are usually up and she has a twinkle on her eye, she is missing that at the moment.  :'( I guess weve just got to wait and see.

We are pleased to have her home with us and im guessing the next few days will tell us more.

Morning all.

Just to give you all a quick update.

To be honest I was a bit worried about Willow in the evening last night as she was in such a deep sleep and she would have a few minutes of energy and then zonked out again. When she tried to jump up she was slower and more cautious that usual. She still seemed to be holding her neck slightly stiff. My friend was here and to her she seemed fine but then we know Willow better than anyone else. Although I guess she had had a stressful time and probably didnt sleep there as she would here. Although I was so glad she had made such an improvement she wasnt back to her usual self. Maybe I am expecting too much but I was guessing if it was a bug she would of made a full recovery. She had more energy when we collected her and on the way home than she did all evening.

Today she seems full of the joys of spring we been for a very short walk and she has played. I have noticed a few subtle symptoms as she had when she was poorly last year. Holding her neck a bit cautiously when turning, slapping her chops, squinting (albeit very slightly) she is also more cautious when jumping up. I dont know if im looking for symptoms as she was so ill last year and im a bit paranoid but one of the classic things was her being so up and down, playing one minute and looking almost depressed the next. She seemed a bit like that last night but seems as mad as a box of frogs so far this morning.

I guess only time will tell and over the weekend we will closely monitor her.

Whatever is is/was so are so glad to have her home  :D

'more Mum' sounds like a typical cocker :D  so glad she's back home Maddy.

I've logged on this morning to see if you'd posted an update.  As you say, you know Wilsy better than anyone - it's just going to be a waiting game but I really hope she's on the mend from a tummy bug and just feeling a bit tired occasionally - I know they wipe me out.

 :bigarmhug: to you all,

Jayne and Pearl

Fingers & Paws crossed it was just a bug.  I think we can all seem paranoid, it's not a bad thing IMO, you know Willow better than anybody, she's lucky to have such a caring mum

Glad to hear that she's home, hopefully she's just exhausted from her time at the vets along with whatever was making her ill. She's obviously remembered what hurt and is taking it slowly, in between doing the usual mad cocker thing  :lol2:
Hope she continues to improve  :luv:
