Macro Mondays – It's Alive!!
Our 8 year old Saint Bernard, Gracie.
For the last month or so, things have been really rough for Gracie, and us. She started having trouble walking, and despite medication, it got progressively worse until she just couldn’t manage any more. We were referred to veterinary specialists, who after tests and scans, diagnosed a blown disc in her spine near the neck. This was operated on a few weeks ago and she has progressively got better, recovering well and nearly back to her good old self.
However, last week, tests carried out at the same time also revealed she had thyroid cancer, and it was not long after this devastating news that I took this picture.
She has since been back to the specialists again for further tests and scans, and they are confident that the cancer is confined, so she will undergo surgery again next Monday to remove it.
Fingers crossed, she will be back on the road to recovery by Christmas, and a great gift to us all.
