    X-ray shows a collapsed disc I think she said anyway it's pinching the nerve so next step is blood work and all liver functions are perfect so we have taken the plunge to do intensive non steroidal anti inflammatory for a week long coarse to see how she responds. She'll need enforced bed rest, care toileting etc the. Review in a week.

    Pretty much prompted us to start the journey for a replacement sooner rather than later. We've talked about it off and on for a bit but always assumed we have years left with Gypsy... either way she will have a good influence on a pup coming through and hopefully overlap a couple of years to ease the pain when that time does come. My wife loves the labradoodle so I don't know if I get a say in that. I'd have loved a bitch pup from Martin Reid's DD/GWP litters but I just don't have the time with my current job to do it justice so it's on the back burner for now.

    Fingers crossed. Cheers for the thoughts guys.

    Finally home after 3.5 days in the South Island for work, and I'm so pleased to report that the non steroidal anti inflammatories that my dog is on are having their intended affect and she is starting to weight bear on that hind leg when standing or very slowly walking, if moving any faster she still hops and carries it.

    So relieved! Looks like I might get a bit more time yet.

    You'd probably want to get your name on the list sooner than later for one of Martins pups.

    i thought my 15 year old bully cattle cross had almost done his dash so i got a pup that turned him around and he lived till he was 17.5 years old so maybe a pup will spark her up
    and it it helped the us get over the sad day we had to put him down
