Athos

Poor Athos had such the week last week. He went to the vet on Tuesday for tummy issues. Went bk to the vet on Friday for walking issues, and went to the vet on Monday (Memorial Day) because he was having difficulty walking.

All very very stressful and scary. The final diagnosis was that he had a ruptured disk.

The decision to have back surgery was made all the more difficult because it came with a huge price tag, but we both really love him and wanted him to be ok.

He had surgery on Tuesday night and should be home tomorrow night, Friday. He is still not walking, so there will be a lot of home rehab to manage, but it's a huge relief that he will be coming home - and will hopefully make a full recovery.

For anyone who prays - send out the doggie prayers!
