Moly had 2 herniated discs. One severly calcified. Doesn't look good. I'm trying to stop thinking with my heart and start thinking like a nurse. With my head. Please pray for her. Belinda. I am beside myself.

I'm sorry to hear this. What does your vet recommend?

She is definitely in our prayers. I hope she feels better soon, I hope your vet can determine a good way to deal with those discs. Copper and Fred send healing drool.

She had surgery (took longer than the neurologist thought it would take). Looks like she won't be able to walk after she comes home, for a while. I don't know, this all just happened. She won medals at the "Basset Olympics" benefit for Tri-State rescue 2 weeks ago. I don't understand.... Belinda. And thank you for your thoughts.

Cynthia Swearingen

Oh, Belinda, I am so sorry to hear that. Perhaps she will recover more quickly that you think, with a loving mom to help her. Our thought and prayers are with you both.

Does your vet do hydro-therapy after back surgery? I've seen lots of dogs make quick (or quicker)recoverys with it.

We'll send lots of good thoughts and prayers your way.

It is so sad to read this. I'll keep Moly and you in prayer.

Franny and I send our symapthy and good wishes for a speedy recovery. It's so hard to "think" for our pets when we're overwhelmed by "feel". It requires a clarity of mind that seems almost impossible in the face of the knowledge that your little girl will face at least some pain and discomfort. I "think" you've done the right thing by giving her the chance to recover from this. I "feel" for the both of you.

Will be sending healing thoughts for Molly. Hope her recovery time is better than you think now. Forget trying to think like a nurse-I'm a blithering idiot when it comes to my animals.

OH, Belinda. Hang in there. What does tne neurologist say? I can only tell you the tale of our Samantha, who had a herniated disk, couldn't walk, and I carried her up and down stairs. (She weighed 70 lbs--I was stronger then). We took her on a vacation in an RV, and carried her in and out. And eventually she walked again, and did everything she did before. It took awhile, but it happened.
