So sorry to be so long updating, I had to have an egg and chip butty and a large glass of wine first.
Mo is home now but on anther planet, she is so drowsy. The vet said we could have left her there another night but we wanted her home.
She had to be sedated for the x-ray and bloods have been done.
The results; the blood picture is normal, the x-rays show no calcification or tumours. Unable to see a slipped disc but they're not always obvious on x-ray because they are not radio opaque There is a specific investigation to see a slipped disc which involves an injection of dye. They cannot do this with Mo because it would affect her heart.
The best treatment for any inflammation in her neck would be steroids ..... but guess what she can't have them because of her heart condition.
So she is to continue with Metacam and Tramadol.
I was heartened when the vet (who is brilliant) told me she had consulted with the vet who diagnosed and treated her heart from the beginning. They really have pulled out all the stops.
She is going back for a check tomorrow.
Do you think Currys would take back the washing machine I ordered on Tuesday? It's the same price as todays vet bill
Thanks for all your kindness and thoughts, it would take for ever to multiquote you all but you are all great
