Five weeks ago our beautiful 3 year old crossbreed rescue dog became poorly; following a night with the out of hours vets, the vet rang to say we could collect him at around 4pm the same day, he was eating/drinking seemed fine. Within a few hours the Vet called to say our boy had become paralysed in his back legs. My husband collected him and took him to a specialist vets a couple of hours away (our vet referred us). He had an MRI and we were asked about surgery the following day to which we agreed, there is no guarantee that surgery will fix the paralysis. Unfortunately, 5 weeks later, our boy still has no use of his back legs. I have given up my job to care for him and he is getting round the clock care from our family. We are doing everything possible to keep him well and he has a doggy 'wheelchair' and a buggy. It's just a very sad situation which I sometimes feel very upset about. Anyone else have similar experience?
