Gilmore Is 3!
Hi Federicka and all at Flying
W!
Yesterday was Biggins 3rd
birthday!
We wanted to give you an
update on how he is doing since we last spoke in July.
He was diagnosed with
“Wobblers” by 2 doctors here in NY after a slip off of the bed left
him pretty immobile for a few days. (wobblers is really just a name
they put on his injury that they couldn’t find a name for.)
After his steroid treatment we
hoped and prayed that he would be ok and since then we have made
some major adjustments to his lifestyle including:The purchase of a
minivan for easier travel…Lined with a twin size mattress for his
comfort. Our king size mattress was out right on the floor so he
could get up and down easier. He no longer goes up and down steps
unless absolutely necessary HE only wears a harness…no collar to
avoid any strain on his neck. A lot of extra love and kisses (that
is the easiest part)
Anyway, his condition improved
exponentially! He is doing really well and just more loveable than
ever.
We are praying that his
condition stays the same the wobblers is really just a name they put
on his injury that they couldn’t find a name for. We will of course
keep you posted….
After all that we have been
through with him in the last few months (We brought him to 6
different vets to get opinions) we both agree we would do it again
in a heartbeat. Biggins is worth every penny we spent, every minute
we sat in the Vets offices, every tear we shed every second we worry
about him. He is the best dog anyone could ever hope for and we
love him more than we ever thought we could. We want to thank you
for creating such a wonderful creature and we wish you could see the
smile he brings to so many people’s face just by walking past
them!
Thank you again Federicka!
