my oscars xray results

First topic message reminder :

my boy is not right today hes been really struggling to get up today and now tonight he wont eat his dinner i tried giving him a peice of bacon and he wouldnt eat it he allways eats his dinner also he wont speak he normally speaks for food or when he wants to come in from the garden. molly keeps sniffing round him like she knows hes off colour. hes breathing is ok and he is drinking but i know my boy and hes not right if he wont eat by tommorow iam going to take him up the vets. oh its horrible when they cant tell you whats happening!! i hope he picks up soon

Aww bless him,hope the pain killers and physio do help and keep him pain free.

Poor Oscar, lets hope the pain releif and hydrotherapy does the trick

Awwww look at him - and look at Molly keeping a watchful eye over Oscar xx

I bet you are over the moon to have your boy back home and recovering with his family.

As you say you have the info to be able to move forward and plan some treatments for Oscar

When will he be able to start the physio & hydrotherapy?

I know this may sound silly - but is he able to have acupunture? Did you vet mention this or is it a NO NO?

Anyway - I will stop asking so many Questions and let you spend some time with Oscar

Thank you for the update - Suzie T - would you give Oscar a kiss and hug from me - he is one tough fella xx

kisses and hugs given to him thanks . yes he can have acupunture but i dont think he would sit still long enough we are going to try the hydrotherpy first. we are going to let him recover from the GA and then start with the hydrotherpy in about 7 days.

ah poor oscar please give him a big hug from me ..and lets hope the treatment gives him a bit of hope

Awww bless him. Big hugs

Hope Oscar is feeling better soon & bless Molly for checking up on him. Glad he's back home & tucked up in his bed now. Let us know how he gets on with his physio.

Hi

This may not be any consilation - but at least now you have a goal to aim for and you know what is causing his poor - poor Oscar

How is he today - does he still feel a little groggy?

Suzie T

hi hes still feeling tried he wouldnt go for a wee bless him but he was starving last night and ate all his dinner hes had a little wallk about this morning aswell and is now snoozing again.
we are really quite annoyed about the vets in pah misdoinosis 2 years ago if they had said he can have an mri scan he was stronger and younger aswell he could of possibly have got the nerves opereated on. they also made us have artritus injections for him and just to find out yesterday theres no arthritus whatsoever has actually really peed us off. its too late now to have an mri scan . our new vets have been absolutly brillant and they have been so good we are really deciding weather we should complain to pah or not?

That is such a shame that Oscar was misdiagnosed - and also given injections for arthritius when he didn't have it.

I think if you feel strong enough to complain then you should do what you feel is right - what did your vet say about this?

I know what you are saying about if you could go back 2 years - it must be annoying and upsetting - the main thing is Oscar is recovering now and who knows what would have happened if he was operated on then?

I think I would mention this to your vet, I know you must be upset but sometimes it is best to concentrate on the now - if you know what I mean xx

Bet Oscar is been spoilt rotten at the moment xx

Suzie T

I wouldnt worry about the old vet. Just worry about Oscar now. You cant change what happened & there's no point getting upset about something you cannot change. But I'd be pi**ed off too.

How is he doing today?

hes much better he left me a little puddle in the kitchen again this morning. we dont mind we just know its all down to the spinal cord neves so he cant help it bless him. iam going take him out with molly in about an hour for a wallk for 15 mins its so foggy here though i dunno if ill see anything. hows jessie doing?
