We‘re off for an MRI today...have been warned about the cost! I’ve to stay in the car park to discuss findings and am told if they can do anything, they’ll be prepared to go ahead whilst she’s under. Dottie is still a spiritedly spaniel, just suddenly suffering from wobbly legs. But I’m mindful of unnecessary suffering....
D’s predecessor had chemo for lymphoma at 2....as for humans, every situation is different. I had to do my best, but after a lovely, ‘well’ summer, she went downhill rapidly and sadly succumbed.
The vet tells me that their governing body dictates that human health comes first which has sadly meant delays, but fair dos. Hard though to watch our pets suffer. Luckily D is still ‘racing’ about...well her front end does. I just hope they can do something for her back end.
I’m relying on the vet helping me to make the right decisions....
I’ve already prepped the wooden floors...all covered but she always seems to find the square foot left uncovered and slips, so I’ve just ordered more rugs from ikea! I’m now an ‘expert’ on making access over the threshold easier but she’ll be put on the lead before launching herself outside. Spaniels don’t understand the concept of slowing down and going steady! The mere smell of the outdoors sends her into a frenzy! And I’ll be using the van to transport her...ease of access and space to carry her about, when necessary. So we’ll be locked down even more for a while...one way or another. I’m just happy I can spend the time with her.
