Well, we are still treating the epilepsy, not 10 minutes ago, she stood up and wobbled all over the place. Got several tests done over the past few months, nothing showing up. She was in season, just ending now, had to up the meds, she was like a zombie. So, need the op because the meds can be affected when in season. Kind of good day bad day routine. We have been told she ain't in pain or uncomfortable, I certainly wouldn't let the animal suffer. Springers are active dogs, so to see her wobbling about isn't really that nice. But, if she is comfortable, then all is OK. Mutts bloody get to you though.
