Another pup post...what can I say
This poor little girl has had a rough few weeks.
First: She had major poo problems and the vet prescribed meds
Second: She has a lump that they did a biopsy on but thankfully that is just fat that won't hurt her but the vet said that if they put her under for something else, to remind them to remove it.
Third: When Jay came home tonight from work he said she acted off balance and couldn't put her head up...so off to the vet again. She has a slipped disc and (2) more that could possibly be if we are not careful. So...she is on muscle relaxers and steroids and has to stay in her crate for (2) weeks to heal. If she is out of her crate then we have to watch her and not let her jump.
My head is saying, " Good luck with that one."
If you ever met our Macy Dai you would think she had built in springs in her feet. When she wants to go from one piece of furniture to another she doesn't even go on the floor, nope not that girl...she just jumps from one piece to another or goes across the end table. She must have been a cat in another life.
Now that this has happened, we are told that if she heals and no surgery is required, it will be something we will have to continually watch because now anything could trigger her now weak spinal column.
So...even though you might feel sorry for our little fur baby (she will accept all types of kindness)...please remember me and Jay as we try to control our "Tigger" or there is a possibility that she can become paralyzed.

Oh Cheri - poor baby has a lot of issues going on right now - I am so sorry - I hate when the little ones don't feel well. They are so dang loyal and just want to love and play (or jump in your case). sandie/♥
Oh no. Slipped disk is not good. Poor thing.
Sweet doggie, I know you will help her heal. Sending prayers.
Oh no!! Poor thing! I hope she gets better very soon!!
It sounds like keeping her from being inactive enough to heal will be a big job. She has had a rough time lately.....I hope she feels better soon.
I predict you will spend lots of time with her on your lap. I'm afraid you're in for a long 2 weeks...Hope she mends nicely and is back to full steam very soon.
