I am waiting for the night nurse to ring and give an update . The Vet called me last night , she said that despite pain relief , Nelly is very distressed and sstill in some pain, especially around her rear end . She said that she had managed to carry out an examination and that she could feel...

Nelly was back to the Vets this morning after a rather rough weekend . Sue agrees that her chiari malformation has progressed to syringomyelia which is awful , no cure but careful management until this no longer works . We didnt really know if we would be bringing Nelly home but Sue wants to...

Oh Emily , I really feel for you . Reubens results were almost identical except that his mitotic rate was , I think, 3 . We also had the additional tests done , prognosis came back as variable which was really neither here nor there . But , and this is a big but , he shows no signs of illness ...
