Hello fellow slaves,
I am sad to report that just over the
wheekend my Spunky has become
paralyzed. He was dragging his back
legs on Saturday and by Sunday he
wasn't moving in his cage at all. He
would still eat up a storm and didn't
seem to be in pain. So today I took
him to the vet. They did an Xray and
said that he is missing a disk in his
back. The gave him Metacam for the
pain which I am to give him once a
day. I take him back tommorow for
a chropritic appointment to see if it
will help. Has anyone ever heard of
that? They sugguest neutering but
because of him age I don't think
that should be considered. He is
swollen in his male parts and the
vet thought they might help. I am
to going to talk to Steve tonight and
see what he thinks we should do for
him. I do not want Spunky to suffer
but I don't want to rob him of life
if he is happy and content. It is
some hard choices to make but
after tomorrow I will know more.
Please keep Spunky in your prayers.
Birdie
