G'day Maties,
First of all I just want to thank everyone for the well wishes, prayers and paw crossing. I'm sure it's helping. As for Lacie and Asta, well their help has been pawesome. We were a little concerned about the cord on Lacie's blender but thankfully the house didn't catch fire and all is well apart from a few scorch marks on the carpet. Anyway Asta had a fire escape plan at the ready and we've already had 2 fire drills today.
Yesterday B & D took me to see my vet Stephen. They described all my crazy symptoms to him. Then he did a couple of basic neurological tests on me as well as watching me run up and down the driveway to determine the co-ordination in my back legs. In typical fashion I was as right as rain while there. He did notice that my left leg was a bit slower and didn't rise as high as my right but then that could have been from birth. B says that my slowness is not restricted to my leg as I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed...................I don't know what me means!
Anyhoo, Stephen has taken me off my previcox and has put me on a mild steroid medication for 1 week which I start tomorrow (Thursday). He seems to think that the root of my pain may be from a pinched nerve or there may be some swelling which is putting pressure on the nerve. If I'm still very sore after the week is up I will have to have an MRI and see a specialist down in Sydney. So we are keeping our paws and fingers crossed that this is the solution to my problem.
Then there is my new magnetic bed which B ordered for me last week. Not that they have much faith in magnets but it's a very comfy bed. Lucy's already tried to have a go at it.....silly cow!
Ok enough medical stuff. Here is our video for today. It shows me and my sissies hanging in the kitchen. They're obviously scrounging for food and being their naughty selves. I'm just stuck in the middle of the commotion.
I'll let you know how I get on with the steroids. Take care and we hope you're having a great week.
