Last Thursday we got him restiched up from his tumor removal surgery, he got to come home with a cone. Which I took some pictures of and then removed. He couldn't reach his incision so not sure why he even had it. But he was doing great for a few days.
Then on Sunday, all of the sudden he was having a really hard time walking. It progressed over the day and he was eventually in a lot of pain. He was able to walk to the car to take him to our vet, but once we got to the vet he lost all ability to walk. :( He was at our vet for a few days, not improving, so we took him to a neurologist. They did very spendy tests to tell us he had a ruptured disc in his neck that was pushing his spinal cord from the left to the right side. Ouch! We couldn't put him down, he is 8 years old, but he's been so healthy, and knowing there was a surgery that could fix him, that was that. We went for the surgery and $5k ish later he's on his way to recovery! It'll be a tough road, but he's getting better already, only days after surgery.
For Halloween he'll be Frankenstein! :)
He tried to stand up tonight and with all the transporting today he's wiped out. At least he's at home with us though, we're hoping that gives him the motivation to be walking in no time! Send good thoughts!
