What a very heartbreaking situation. I am sorry.
Just a note of hope for you , though. I have a dog with pretty severe spinal issues due to a whelping box injury (Her mother landed on her neck when she jumped a baby gate). Hoppy is almost 7 and still thrilled to be alive and loved. I know her life will be shorter than it should be, but, they adapt and there are great meds out there to help support them. I was advised to keep her on Vit C as it seems to help alleviate some joint pain. Hoppy has no problems 'pogo-sticking' around the yard (I have an acre) and loves to harass my ducks and chickens.
I wish you all the very best. |
