Willow, wobbler syndrome possibly, any advice welcome
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2020 9:30 pm
Hello!
Im new to this forum, as well as a new mama to a special needs doggo! Her name is Willow, she is a 5 year old weimaraner and hound mix. she is just the sweetest thing! She was taken into the shelter as a stray and they initially thought she had been hit by a car but a scan showed she has wobblers syndrome. She stumbles and sometimes her lower half falls when she walks around. The shelter said their “best guess” is wobblers syndrome. She has a gap in her spinal column (although from what I’ve read about this condition its a compression not a gap so I'm not sure? Im not a vet obviously), if it sounds like something else based on symptoms to you i would love feedback on that as well.
Ive taken in plenty of animals that needed emotional help (abusive pasts) and other various Training needs. But this is my first physical condition/special needs dog! Ive always wanted one (because they deserve a loving home too!) and im just so excited to share my life with her
Tips and advice is always welcome, since I'm a very experienced owner but not necessarily in this area! She is so sweet, gentle, and wonderful so far and i just want to ensure she has the best life possible with me
Thanks in advance!
