Bigi for some time has had a bit of a back problem:
- a month of not being able to jump on lounges or beds;
- strange lumps that come and go;
- a sore base of the tail/rump, and tightness in this area;
- wobbly back legs;
- a weak tail;
- scary rapido weight loss
Finally I thought work was needed. So of we went to Murdoch University AGAIN. After x-rays, CT scans, blood work and even a spinal fluid tap they came up with ZERO cause for these problems. On one hand this is a good thing - there is no hideous major problem. However this still leaves me with a dog in discomfort and not clue about what to do about it??? The only thing we achieved was getting some broken teeth fixed (oh yes, he falls apart at both ends, and ends the year with 5 less teeth than he started with).
Meanwhile, Sen and I filled in the waiting times road testing some new walk locales:
1. Bold Park (fantastic!) - you can see the city from here, out there over past the leafy suburbs in which we stayed with good company
The big GRIN (because I aint the one at the vet)
City on one side, beach on the other
and a neat pine forest (the team likes a pine forest)
2. Bibra Lakes - where there is potential for getting lost we learn
The banksia are in bloom
as is Christmas Bush
Oh Bigi, it isn't easy to be him. Strange they couldn't find anything with all those symptoms and all those test./petra
