Need Prayers or Warm Thoughts
My dog woke up this AM and was struggling to use her back legs. She's only 2 years old... and she was fine yesterday! This has never happened before. I knew something wasn't right, and took her to the vet. My vet observed her for a few hours and then referred me over to the specialists at UF Vet Hospital. They're doing more tests, but it looks like Riley may have a herniated disc in her back and will require surgery.
It looks like this is a genetic defect that was somehow aggravated, but bound to happen at some point in her lifetime. I realize it is correctable, but no one wants to see their pet in pain or in need of surgery. The folks at both animal hospitals were so kind and had an endless supply of tissues on hand for me.
Please keep Riley in your prayers. I will find out later today if she needs to have surgery.
