We have been told to send for an insurance claim form as Robby has to go for an MRI scan as they now suspect cerebellar cortical abiotrophy.
We have been called to a meeting tomorrow to discuss all options open to us. At this meeting the vet is going to explain exactly what the disease is and what it does to the animal.
I have read up a little on Google but the more I read the more upset I get so no more research until I see the vet.We are advised that our little man is in no way out of danger they can not say he is until they know exactly what the problem is and this will only be known after the MRI scan.
The situation is now getting to both of us as we spend more and more time trying to get him to play with us. He just does not want to know to the point where today he bit Joan and drew blood she had to pull the poor guy off her hand.
We are just out of our minds right now all we can do is wait for the meeting tomorrow and listen to what we are being told or advised.
Whatever the situation is we will always do whatever is best for him, he is loved so much he has taken our hearts completely just as much as the other three have.
A strange situation has developed with the other three now as they just ignore poor Robby and refuse to play with him, this is upsetting us as well.
If Robby goes to them to play he is warned off with a growl so he goes back to his bed and sleeps.
It is breaking our hearts ! |
This is totally normal behavior in animals when they know something is wrong with one. I would not push him in any kind of socialization, I would just let him be and do whatever he wants (within reason) until his medical situation is controlled. You may even need to protect him from the others at some point, as sometimes healthy dogs may attach or pick on a weaker dog. This too is totally natural, instinctive behavior. Don't let it change the way you feel about them.
Just to let you know... I can't seem to find the words I would like to say, and I sat here and cried and prayed for you all, yesterday and now again today. Seems like all I can do is cry, pray and send out some Hugs....
