The Willows

Molly is much happier now and in a lot less pain.  The vet who checked Molly out did not find much pain at all but did find a couple of very subtle signs that she was not quite right neurologically so we decided to do an MRI scan.

It was an anxious wait for me and Chance although we did find a nice park just round the corner for a nice walk.

The results showed she did have a disc protruding into her spinal cord which is what is causing her problems.  Not great news :(  The vet changed her painkillers and prescribed more strict rest to let the area heal up - and hope for the best.

A problem

All was fine and normal all day today - right up until yesterday evening when after tea Molly came in from the back garden staggering slightly with her back legs and generally not quite sure what they were doing.  We sat down for a while to calm down and then she seemed much more aware of her legs but in a lot of pain.  

Today she was still in a lot of pain so we went to the vets and were prescribed strong painkillers for severe back pain.  The vet was also not happy with my description of her staggering so referred us to Willows to be properly checked out.
