Hello everyone ! I have just joined, and I have a 13 month old blenheim called Spangle (like those sweets in the 60`s!). I am passionate about anything to do with Cavaliers. My mum got Rikki in 1973, but I couldn`t have my own until I was at home to be with her. She was Poppy (another blenheim) who (although diagnosed with a grade 5 heart problem at four and a half), lived until she was thirteen and a half. She was such lovely, laidback sort of girl with a passion for black labradors!
We sadly lost her in 2006 and and then in Feb 2008 we got Spangle. She is such a sweetie, but we noticed she had problems very early on and having researched for 6 months to find a healthy pup, we were devastated to discover after her MRI scan that she has SM. We found this out at the end of November. She is on gabapentin and prednisilone. She is different every day - sometimes good, sometimes not so good. We just want to make sure she is comfortable and happy but it is hard to get the dosage right.
Sorry to go on so much but it is such a relief to talk about it.
