I have been putting off posting about her since my heart is breaking seeing how much worse she is since I left her in May. For those of you who do not know, she has been seen by 3 vets and all 3 agree, she has Neroulocical damage (Spelling?) that was caused in the womb or during birth that effected her back legs/hips. Her left leg is the worst effected. She has been X-rayed and probed and proded until I have said "enough!".. Each time it takes her days to recover from what they do to her trying to figure out how bad it is. She is in no pain, no matter what they do, she feels no pain. She is just left weak legged and ends up taking some bad falls because her legs will not work right for days after their exam... (Or after she has been stressed physically or emotionally, cold and dampness also effect it)
OK, Having yesterday and today to observe her, I can clearly see, she has gotten a lot worse. Her hip/legs are a lot stiffer, she is jerking, wobbeling and trembeling a lot more and her eyes look funny, like she can not focus sometimes...maybe a result of the trembeling going up to her head? At times it gets so bad, she just gives up and lays down to get it to stop. It breaks my heart. She has not lost her spunk though, this morning, she was running and playing and just having a grand old time running end to end, through the house. She knows I am concerned and upset and she gives me that look that just melts my heart like she is trying to tell me "I'm OK Mommie, I can do it! Don't worry so much! I am OK!!"
She will be a year old August 2 and I was hoping she would have many, many years before she would start to decline to any worse state than she already was. This turn was sudden, unexpected and dissapointing. I don't mean she is down and totally unable, just that I was not expecting this and it breaks my heart and I had hoped we had a lot more years before there was ANY changes..
