We had quite the roller coaster weekend. Sam was experiencing lethargy and wobbling around. We were very concerned and upset. We did think that her fight was taking a bad turn. She was seen by her Onocologist, early Sunday, on his day off. This man is truly a compassionate vet, a true blessing. Sam was also seen by the on call neurolgist. Her diagnosis is a potential disk issue in her neck. Nothing related to the lymphoma. She has been placed on pain, muscle relaxers and steroid medication. She was not looking good early this morning. But, the medication does seem to be helping. She is still very drowsy, but does seems to be a little more alert. We have returned home with her and she is now resting quietly. She still has trouble standing, especially on the wood floors. We have assembled her a comfortable bed with soft blankets. She is eating and drinking some water. Which is good. She will need to remain calm for the immediate future.
A true diagnosis for the neck injury would require an MRI. This would require sedation. Something we are not comfortable doing. She has been through enough.
This dog never stops amazing me. She is incredible with her continued fight. She has been through a septic episode a few years ago. Currently being treated Chemo for lymphoma. And now, a neck injury she needs to recover from.
Our friends and family continued prayers have helped. Thank you for them.
