Yes, we are blessed that this wonderful, highly skilled vet has agreed to see Chachi and perform the surgery. Our confidence in him is helping us get through this.

And, God bless you MEG for your care and concern. I can't tell you how much you and others here have helped with your prayers and moral support. Thank you so very much.

Mama Bear, hope you see this note.
I pray all goes well for Chachi’s surgery. I well know how worrisome and stressful this is. God bless you and your dear Chachi.

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, LUV. Chachi has been suffering from back problems since the end of October. It would get better, then worse and now it is at the point of being an emergency. We believe it is a disc problem which is pinching the nerves in his back so that he can't feel his hind legs. The myelogram that the doctor will perform tomorrow (it's like an MRI) will show the extent of the problem and he will then do the necessary surgery. Chachi has been on pain meds and anti-inflamatories, so his discomfort has been minimal, still it breaks my heart to see such a young dog, not yet three years old, having such problems.

Hi Meg and All. Happy Warm and Fuzzy. We are fogged in this morning.

Praying Day and Night for Chachi, Sweet FRiend.

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, dita, for your sweet note. It means so much to me. So many friends here have been so very supportive and the care and concern and prayers have touched my heart.

Dolly, you asked a while ago what kind of back problem it is and the answer is, we still aren't 100% sure. The vet we saw in Fresno told us that he is almost positive, from the looks of the xrays (which don't show much), it is a simple disc problem, but until a Myelogram is performed complete diagnosis is impossible. They don't want to anestisize him for the Myelogram and then re-anestisize him later to do the surgery. The surgeon wants to do it all at the same time. I wish this were a problem that could be solved without surgery, we would rather do anything than put this little guy through this, but we've had three vets tell us it is absolutely necessary.

[luvie]

Bless his little heart. When I read the first part, I was assuming that he was an older dog. I think it’s sad, too, in one so young. I hope and pray that the surgery is successful and he lives a long and pain-free life with you who loves him dearly!

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, ((((((Kitty)))))).

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks so much. I am absolutely sure that no dog has been loved more than this little guy. And I know he is very special to have so many people praying and pulling for him. :-)

Gotta run. I have a bunch of things to do before we leave. (((((((((LUV))))))))))

[luvie]

Keep your chin up. I am sure he will be fine!

Have a good trip. I would love to visit Sacramento. (I probably spelled that wrong!)

[luvie]

Awwwww....hope you stay warm and dry and cuddled.

I love CA fog...except to drive in it. :D

[La Enchiladita]

Thanks...:) The sun is trying to peek though, hazy sunshine now. You spelled Sacramento perfectly.
