So it turned out she had completely blown out the disk between her 2nd and 3rd vertebra, which according to the Doc is about the most painful spot a dog can do it. (On a side note, it was never her back, it was always her neck but I can't fault her primary Vet. He's a great doc, but that's not his specialty, hence sending us to a specialist.) They got her a CT and then took her right into surgery and we've been waiting all day for news. The surgery went perfectly and she should make a full recovery. It does mean 6 more weeks of rehab on top of the four we've already spent nursing her (and it weren't cheap neither but such is life)....so ten weeks from when this all began is a lot of stress and work, but we'll get through it. My only wish is still that we didn't have to wait that week and Mad suffer through it, but can't change that now, only move towards a healthy future.
