This might be a long post because i dont know where to start tbh
Today i noticed Dennis didnt seem quite himself , i have thought this on a couple of occasions recently and i think people where begining to think i was going mad
i still dont know weather todays events are connected to him not being quite himself in the past but at least i know that there was something to worry about today. By not quite himself i mean , he still wags his tail eats drinks goes for a walk all the normal things but he just looked TO ME like he wasnt happy.
This morning was the same , he got up went for his morning walk (short on lead ) came home , i did the school run etc etc When i came back he wouldnt jump on the sofa for a cuddle instead he just put his front paws up , i just knew something wasnt right but again i checked him head to toe and no sign of pain but i noticed his tummy felt a little hard. I decided id keep an eye on him and see how he was after dinner.
Then as he was walking across the dining room , his back leg collapsed and he just started screaming
he was that frightened he pooed himself
I got him to the vet and by the time we got there both legs had gone
She examined him and said that she thought it was to do with his spine and he needed an MRI scan. THANKFULLY he is insured because if he wasnt i just wouldnt have been able to have him seen as she was explaining that he needed to go to chestergates for the MRI and that would be £1500 before anything else , and i just wouldnt have been able to afford it. Then she went on to ask if i had a credit card because i would need to pay up front which i dont so the vet sorted it that i could take my insurance details with me and that they would go ahead providing they had the all clear from greenbee first.
Anyway it turns out he has a slipped disc that has a lot of heomarraging (sp?)around it , they are not going to operate tonight but see how he is in the morning.
Im missing him like mad and feel absoloutly drained , today has been so scarey and im still not sure whats going to happen to him or how its happened
So if you can spare a get well soon thought it would be very much appreciated
