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.

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!
