Unlucky little lady

I am so sorry Delilah is having more disc problems    she has been through so much, bless her little heart 
Really hope the crate rest helps.  Lots of  's

[LilahLoo]

Poor babs....have you got painkillers for her whilst she is resting?  I know from Lyla how painful the disc leaks are xxx

She's on metacam, which seems to be doing the trick. She doesn't seem to be in pain but today she is very fretful - not happy when I leave the room.

[Sheryl]

Aye, Lyla used to be the same.  I found that I had to drag the crate wherever I went!  It slid on the carpet fine so not too much of a problem x

I hope Delilah is feeling comfortable today x

We had a bit of a set back over the weekend, she became incontinent and can't stand without support.

Back to the vet this morning and while he agrees her condition has deteriorated he said it isn't a disaster and he has seen dogs in a worse condition recover without the operation. She still has some withdrawal reflex in her back feet.

So we're back to the vet on Thursday so he can make sure she's not getting any sores and I'm hoping that love and patience will do the trick again for her.

I'm sorry that you have had a setback  however it is good that the vet is still positive and hoping crate rest will do the trick.  Positive thoughts for Delilah

Sending hugs for Delilah and for you too, it is so upsetting when they in discomfort.

Ok, I know it's just my opinion but if that was Lyla I would be asking for that referral right away.  One of the reasons John was so pleased to see Lyla when he did was because she had retained bladder function. She is totally your dog but I would be asking to see the specialist.

Just wanted to send you and Delilah  and positive thoughts

[LilahLoo]

Delilah is making good progress.

The last time I posted on here she couldn't stand unsupported - my problem now is stopping her from tearing around and keeping her still, in the last week she seems to have come on leaps and bounds quite literally  She gave me heart failure this evening - she was lying in the garden having a snooze while I was doing some jobs.  I went out to the bin and when I came back she was in the house looking for me - she had jumped up two steps to get in!!!

It's still early days, but I'm keeping everything crossed that she continues to make progress - she's a tough little lady 

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts.
