Hi Everyone,
My Charlie, who will be 3 years old this month, has had a limp on and off for months,
the first visit to the Vets they said he had sprained it, was given anti-inflammatory tablets and told to rest it, he seemed to improve with only occasional days with the odd limp.
Then we took him again before Christmas as he was limping more, they x-rayed him and said he might have Arthritis, gave him meds for it but said they wanted to send x-rays and blood tests away to a specialist,
a week later results came back saying no sign of Arthritis, and they don't know why he was limping.
This week we saw a specialist at Davies Veterinary in Bedford and unfortunately he has syringomyelia,
and he will be on meds for the rest of his life.
So I urge you to see a specialist as Vets are not picking up on this,
I do hope your little Fern is just suffering from a sprain
but I wanted to share my story with you as when I read your letter it sounded so familiar.
Best Wishes Charlie & Poppy's mum
