Sorry everybody not the good news we were hoping for.
She needed us there to see if he would stand up. Its not that he wouldn't he couldn't he dragged himself out of the cage to see us.
She got a big mat as he wet himself and cannot get a grip on a shiny floor let alone a wet one. The mat didn't help either those back legs are just not supporting him.
The spinal fluid problem showing up although small and she feels insignificant could indicate a possible stroke but she is still not convinced and at how quick this has come about. She did say though his legs are worse now than when we took him in he could stand then although wobbly. But they would collapse without warning. He also has a small pinch on a disc near his neck not significant enough for surgery and some arthritis in his back near to his shoulder and the fluid on his knee was not his left front one but his left back
knee.
She still has some tests too run she has not given up yet. She said she also wants too make sure the anesthetic is out of his system in case that may be hampering the progress but seeing him I think that was more for our benefit.
So he cannot come home and it was heartbreaking putting him back in the cage and my distress is if his legs are not going too work we will have too say goodbye and his last days will of been spent in a cage away from us and the last time we saw him we shut him away and left him.
We have agreed not to go again for a day or two so he bonds with them and it is not distressing for him thinking he is coming with us. This is all wait and see now but I am afraid after seeing him today I am not hopeful although she has told us she has seen dogs come in who couldn't walk and they have walked out. Heres hoping.
He is eating and was taking treats and ham from Nadia.
