Thanks everyone, your kind words have helped at such a heart point in my life. The vet said there is a chance Zoey will live a long life (pray to God she will). The vet said he has never seen a case like this in such a young, healthy outer looking dog. He was crying with us. She has hip dysplasia and also we found out her back is compared to a 13 year old overweight lab, the vet called this spinal splasia or something like this which is basically a unstable back. I am a emotional wreak right now, so I am probably making no sense. Zoey is such a wonderful girl, and she was such a great agility and rally dog. We qualified on every rally run we did. She is my angel and she really is my whole life. Hearing this news brought me to my knees.

I'm so very sorry. She may not do agility again, but she will still be your angel. I will keep Zoey and you in my prayers. {{{hugs}}}

Oh Bre i am so sorry . I will be sending lots of good healing vibes Zoeys way, and hopefully the vets can get some sort of pain management happening & your girl will live a long happy life.

I am so sorry, Bre. Prayers that the doctors can come up with a good pain management plan, and that you and Zoey can spend lots and lots of happy years together.

[Kfamr]

I'm so sorry, Bre. Hope you get her pain under control.

I know what you mean about her being your heart dog, but getting another to keep active. Simba will ALWAYS be my heart dog, but he just doesn't like to to much anymore.

[Alysser]

I am so sorry to you and poor Zoey girl, and this is oso sad for you to Bre. ((hugs))

[Pawsitive Thinking]

You must be devastated at the moment At least your darling Zoey is still with you. Sending hugs and kisses to you both

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I wish you remembered the name of the problem. It wasn't "Spinal Muscular Atrophy" was it? Should it be disc problems like Autumn has, then she'll live a fine life assuming you can control her energy and possibly use something to control her back movements. Did the vet give you something to give her for the pain?

Zoey has spinosplacia or spelled something like that. It is compared to a 16 year old overweight lab's back. "unstable back" The vet gave her some rimadyl. It seems to help her really well along with the glucosamene tablets.

Zoey had a much better day today. She is being the food pig like normal. Carrying her toy in her mouth everywhere she goes, and guarding us from monsters outside.

We also met with a 2, 3 in September year old sable sheltie with blue eyes yesterday. She will be a perfect fit in the family, it's just my mom doesn't like the age thing, because Zoey is 4, so close in age. At first she didn't really care for me or treats, but by the end of the night she was running with me, playing soccer, jumping, tunnels, and tables. I think she is perfect. But of course the whole family has to agree.

I am so glad she was diagnosed, and now you can find out how to help her. And she can be a "just plain dog" but help you train a new agility star, and of course everyone who learns from you about the dangers of buying from an irresponsible breeder will also be helped by Zoey. And she'll always be Dog of your Heart! Is there anything like a brace or any kind of thing like that that will help her keep from further damaging her spine?

Thanks Karen,

That is a wonderful idea. I will have to contact my vet and see if there is something like this out there. Thanks.
