No More Agility.....

A week ago today my beloved Ink had yet another accident.She was doing what she loves best running through the woods, when she came back to me on three legs, no blood, no yelp but her right hind leg she would not put to the floor.Off to the vet we went,they confirmed my fears- suspected cruciate ligament.They wanted to see her the next day to do a closer examination under GA.When I went to get her that evening the cruciate was not as bad as they first thought just a small tear which they want to leave for the time being and give her strict cage rest and painkillers.However there was a lot more concern for her spine which xrays showed that the vertebrae before the pelvis had seemed to fuse.This is definitely not something that is seen on such a young dog ( 21/2 yrs).Ink has never shown any symptoms of back trouble or soreness/stiffness of any kind, in fact she is the most energetic dog I have ever owned and does not know how to rest.We are due back again at the vet on Wednesday and will discuss further options but for now I am still in shock and very worried about my girl,I just want her back out of her cage running free enjoying herself like a normal dog it's heartbreaking to see her little face when I go out with the other two.Along road ahead of us but the worst bit is not knowing whats in store...
