Well the poor girly spent the whole day at the vets
She is now home and very traumatised at having had a ga, not had me with her, been caged etc etc.... she hasn't coped well with it at all bless her!
Anyway its good news, no tumours, no disc degeneration, no bone chips=no ops needed! And we can all stop worrying that the next pain attack will leave her paralysed. The only thing they could find was further down her spine behind her shoulder blades where she has some odd new bone growth on the spine, like its been injured and is repairing itself.
The vet thinks we are best just treating the attacks with pain relief (metacam and tramadol) when they occur. They are unlikely to get more severe, more prolonged or more frequent.
He thinks this last attack was probably brought on by holding her neck in an odd position for a long time last monday when she saved Bernie (I havn't told his owner this as she would feel really bad!)
So generally nothing serious to panic about, thank god for that!
