Hi

I am wondering if anyone can help me or if anyone has encountered this before?

My 13yr old Jack Russell (Freckles) was struggling to move on Thursday, so i took her to the vets. The vet felt that she had either a trapped nerve or a slipped disc, as she is very tense in the neck & when she walks her back legs cross over, she walks like she is drunk.

She is already on Rymadol for her artheritis which she has as & when she needs it, he told me to keep her on that & he would see her Tuesday.

However she is a lot worse today. She is trying to walk but when she does her front legs are now giving out & she is all over the place. I took her back to see them today & the vet felt that she either had a slipped disc as his partner suggested or she has a brain tumour?

As you can imagine i am feeling a sick as a pig & very stressed. He has taken her off Rymadol & she is now on Prednicare (steroids). He looked at the records & said that when she went on Thursday she wasnt showing any neurological signs, where as today she was ie. her front legs.

If feel that she should at least have an X ray done.

If anyone can help i will be very grateful.

Freckles very worried Mum
