Unlucky little lady
« on: July 05, 2012, 07:52:12 PM »
I can't believe it. Poor Delilah has disc trouble again.

I was beside myself this morning when she did it - though I have no idea how. She was just on the floor in the bedroom and took off with a yelp, like she was trying to run away from something and then couldn't get in to her bed.

Managed to get her in to see our usual vet (he's only easing back to work after a period of illness). We are going to try crate rest and see how she progresses. It worked last summer so I'm trying to be positive that she'll recover again. He did say I could go down the MRI and surgery route but I really don't think I could put her through all that, she's been through enough this year already.

I was in bits this morning but now I'm just taking one day at a time and feeling calmer.

Thanks for all your kind words.

It's heartbreaking to see her. She's such a good girl, she makes no fuss. It was bad enough when she did it last summer but this time she seems worse, I guess it's because she can't use her front legs in the same way. She's flopping all over the place when she tries to sit up and change positions.

But she ate some breakfast out of my hand this morning so that's the positive for today, she wasn't interested in food yesterday.
