Pardon my French, but it was shite, to say the least. Right after our holiday trip, our dog became very ill. First the little critter was in pain, the next day she lost the ability to walk. Got her checked, including an x-ray scan and ultrasound, but none the wiser. A slipped disc was the most likely culprit. Went to another vet where my partner lives for a second opinion and we all agreed we should get her a CAT scan.
We took her to one of the best clinics in this part of the country and they confirmed what we were all thinking.
Pro: It only took 2.5 hours from her first exam plus CAT scan and surgery at that animal clinic.
Con: It set us back 4 grand.
Now the baked potato is on a lot of heavy medication, but at least she’s home after only one night as an inpatient at the clinic and she’s recovering fairly well.
She’s bored out of her tiny skull, wants to play, but isn’t allowed to (4 weeks bed rest ordered by the doc), but she’s slowly getting better. She can even walk a few steps without help again and her appetite is back, too.
Now we need to get her some physiotherapy. The stitches can be removed in about 2 weeks or so.

Fingers crossed she’ll be fine soon.
Glad to hear they found the cause and were able to operate. I wish her speedy recovery.
Thank you :)
Sorry to hear that! I hope she recovers soon!
