This is the update from Amanda about Beauty's visit to the specialist vet yesterday.
Beauty update
I am not sure how to start this post.
Thoracolumbar syndrome is Beauty's diagnosis, prognosis not good.
Beauty has been for lots of tests today, she was terrified & it was heartbreaking to see her in such panic.
Beauty has a narrowing of the spine, just below the shoulders, this is
causing paralysis of not just the hind legs but is causing difficulty in
function of her front legs. You will see on the videos that her head
has also started to twitch.
I cant even begin to tell you what an
awful impact this has had on Beauty. Once active, happy and always
waiting at the gate for run, cuddle and food time..
We are now on
the list for another appointment to go back for more in-depth tests,
until then Beauty has to be turned over often, she has to be kept warm
and at the moment is being helped to pass water etc. We are not sure if
Beauty understands her bladder needs emptying as she does try to move,
this could be due to her bladder being full and uncomfortable or she
actually knows she needs to go..
I am sorry for such awful news.
UPDATE Beauty has an
appointment on Monday, although I am happy to get beauty the help she
deserves it is so far away.. Monday seems like next year to me at the
moment. Beauty has pain relief and mild anti stress meds at the moments
but it's just so sad to see her so confused.
