Hi all, introducing myself, I have two beautiful Cavalier sisters who are 2 1/2 years old, Molly (tri-colour) and Bonnie (blenheim). Molly is the picture of health, however Bonnie is not so lucky, in her short life she has had one drama after another, she was diagnosed with SM when she was about 8 months old, after having toxoplasmosis at the same time, we thought we might loose her as she couldn't even balance herself sitting let alone walk. However we got through that and have since been treating the SM with prednisolone which has been pretty good apart from the weight gain. Bonnie also had to have her eye removed due to it causing continuous problems and not having any sight in it anyway. She has also been trod on by one of the horses which caused her to lose a toe. In regards to the SM we are now adding Garbapentin (under the guidance of a specialist) into her medication as her condition is starting to deteriorate to the point that her back legs collapse and she is unable to walk, you pick her up and she would scream, had a bad episode the other night when it took an hour before she was back to normal. Who would have thought that one little dog could have so many dramas and still remain happy and loyal.
So thought I would join this website to share similar experiences with other people who have a love of their Cavs.
