Does he have control over his bladder and bowels or does he just go without knowing? does he have pain and motor sensation on the hind end or is he completely paralyzed? i only ask because it hasn't been mentioned yet (maybe i missed it though). The reason i ask is because i am a vet tech and i've seen so many cases like this with the best and the worst results, happy and sad results. |
We are not sure yet, if he is a candidate for surgery. I understand your thoughts. If surgery won't allow him a pain-free life, then, no it is not worth it to put him through it. I am sure everyone would agree.
I am not sure if he has control, but he does pee all over himself because he cannot stand up.
YTNR is taking him to a Neuro and we will await his findings.
