TedBear - MRI

**Linda** · 24th April 2006, 07:06 PM

I just received an e-mail from Nikki's husband it does not look good.

Nicki called to say that the Vet seems fairly certain that Teddy has got Syringo.

They will scan tomorrow, to confirm, so we'll keep you posted.

I feel so bad for Nikki, I can only hope the Vet is wrong.

Thanks for keeping us posted Linda. I'm sorry to hear this. Keeping TedBear and family in our thoughts.

It is with much much sadness I post this post for Nikki, I am breaking my heart for her and Tedbear. It has been confirmed that yet another
gorgeous and beautiful Cavalier has SM

Here is the email from Trevor.

Hi Linda,
Nicki has just phoned and its confirmed. He has got syringo. He's come round from the op but is still a bit dopey. They will travel home today as Nicki doesn't want to stay another night.
They want to try medication before we consider surgery, which Nicki feels is best anyway.

I'm so sorry that the news isn't any better, but Nicki will write to you with more details, probably tomorrow.

Best wishes

Trevor

Please, Please post your wishes for Nikki and Tedbear.
I am sure she will appreciate all our love and care like Trevor said
they will start the medication before considering Surgery.

I'm really sorry to hear this. I hope he can be managed on medication alone; Nicki I know you have experience of this and know the different directions you might take. As he is a bit older and the sympotms don't seem too serious at this time it sounds like this is a very likely and workable option for you?

We are all thinking of you.

This is a diagnosis no one wants to hear.

Oh, Nicki, I am so very sorry to hear about your sweet TedBear. I know your heart must be breaking.

He is so fortunate though to be in the best of hands with a loving, well informed Mama. Our thoughts are with you and Teddy.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Nikki. I hope he does well on meds; I know you'll keep us posted. He's in the right hands, he's very lucky to have you and your experience. I'm sure you're both just happy to be home after everything

I am so sorry to hear the news...

You tried so hard to avoid going through this another time!! It's just not fair....

I hope the meds work and keep him comfortable for a long long time.

Nicki and Trevor, life is so bloody unfair, all our household are wishing you and TedBear all the very best of luck and that there is no pain for him at all - I hope that the medicine works....
