Okay so unfortunately during the "Moo Moo" Project, my little fur ball Ginger, seen here had suffered not once but twice from a form of Intervertebral Disk Disease otherwise known as IVD degeneration. It occurs in all breeds of dogs; however, it is observed most frequently in the chondrodystrophoid breeds such as French bulldogs. She's getting better now and walking which is a huge relief as it was very iffy there for a while. I've taken her for a CT Scan, Myelogram and finally an MRI and the neurologist couldn't perform surgery as she has some mineralization but her disc was not protruding. However, she did have temporary full back leg paralysis which broke my heart but the good news is she is walking and seems to be healing. So my attentions and time were completely devoted to her. So now that she's back on track I'm happily painting with my furry "partner in crime".
Now for any pet owners out there, all I can say is please consider pet insurance seriously. There are some great Canadian Pet Insurance Companies that can cover your pet for as little as $30.00/month. Unfortunately I didn't have pet insurance and have gone through a lot of my savings so let my story be a valuable lesson. Okay, enough with the Public Service Announcement, insert happy ending here :)
