Hi all -
I'll be honest, I don't have a Cavalier. I'm actually owned by a French Bulldog named Mooby. Mooby is amazing and special in every way (yes, I am biased. yes, I am ok with that).
At 4.5 we have really been through the ringer with health related issues with her. In December of 2010, after 2 years and 8 rounds of pneumonia, we finally found out that Mooby had a rare congenital disease, Primary Ciliary Dyskensia. As soon as we felt like OK this is what it is and we will manage it Mooby started with something else neuro related. Possibly SM.
All the signs seem to be there -- we just never knew what they were. We always thought the scratching was allergies -- after all, most frenchies have allergies. Turns out Mooby does have allergies but it doesn't stop the air scratching. When she comes in from walks she digs her face into the carpet, itching it hard, and then runs for her bed.
To make a long, long story short Mooby is having an MRI tomorrow to check for SM. I am hoping, even though I don't have a Cav I can still be in your group.
