My best friend, Bandaid, was taken to the vet today where they did a round of tests. Yesterday, while we were out in the backyard, her back legs stopped working and she couldn't get up. Mommy was very scared! After about 10 seconds, she just hopped up and walked in the house like nothing happened.
Turns out (if you can see in the x-ray) all her spinal discs have great space between them except for the one with the arrow. This one is pushing together and is calcifying at the bottom, causing a nerve to be pinched. When the nerve is being pinched, her back legs go numb/ with shots of pain. Sadly, there is nothing to do about it, but the doctor said she will live a long life and it will only bother her sometimes. But isn't this a really cool picture of Bandaid's guts!
