Didn’t know what forum to post this under as this is a Cocker.
He is only 6 month old and bunny hops. He was diagnosed with SM. You would think he would be on medication but no mention of that at all. What a beautiful boy. So sad.

14-11-11 Lingo is a sweet 6
month old male Cocker Spaniel who has come to us from a breeder as he was not
required. Sadly Lingo can only bunny hop to move about. He is very fearful of
people. We will do all we can to help him over this hard time and make his life
worth living. He will be having an x-ray of his hips in the next few days to see
if there is a problem. He is absolutely stunning but nervous at the moment. He
will need a home where there is a happy resident dog to help him.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Lingo
has been to see Diane at Haffern vets about his back legs. After taking a lot
more x-rays she was unable to find any problems with his, legs, knees or hips.
She has taken some x-rays of his spine and recorded him walking, these she is
sending to a friend who is a specialist in, neurological spine problems to see
if this is what wrong. We should know more in a few days. Lingo came to me so
scared, that no one, not even another dog could go near him, he would growl and
snap, if you picked him up he would wee with fright, nearly 2 weeks on and this
lovely boy is really starting to shine. He loves the other dogs but is still
very timid with us although he will follow us. Yesterday he discovered the
garden and has loved bouncing around it. I really hope that no matter the
results are or out come is, that someone special will offer him a lovely
home.
Lingo has
syringomyelia. This is more common in cavalries, but cockers can have it. How
long a life does he have? Who knows - it could be a couple of years or he could
live a full life, we just don't know. What we do know is, he is the happiest,
sweetest dog you could ever meet. Yes he bunny hops but he doesn't let it slow
him down. He loves to play with others dogs, so we really want him to have a
friendly, playful doggy friend. He is 96% clean in the house, walks on a lead,
sleeps all night and is fine with cats. He's as cheeky as a monkey and is always
getting into mischief, but you can never be cross with him, as he gives you an
Elvis look (the side of his lip goes up) which just makes you smile. He loves
cuddles, if I didn't have 6 dogs already, I would keep him, I'm already playing
extra lines on the lottery. But please do your homework on syringomyelia before
applying.
