Love Border Collies
If we weren't in a rental we would have another like a shot
Have had 1.5 (one was a long term "loan")
The Loan had similar symtoms once when we had here but it was in conjunction with a bad gastro bug ... apparently this wasn't the first time ... following day she was OK but it was scary for a while ... overnighter in the vet.
I spose you would have commented if she had any other symptoms or ailments like this?
All the bestRamps
When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way--before one began.

Gee guys thanks so much, you have given us some hope.
Her name is Ally Gumby. Me being away for 10 days will hopefully give it a bit of time. The main thing the vet is concerned about is that she is loosing deep pain sensation in her back legs.
I leave tomorrow but will drop back here before I go. Then let you know how things are when I get back.
Thanks

If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

Rod I hope the family pet and your faithful mate recovers quickly and completely. Border Collies are the smartest dogs I have ever had the pleasure to be around.
My dad had a B/C bitch that made it to 18, albeit blind and deaf for the last six months of her life. When she went to doggy heaven I remember dad sitting in the lounge room cradling her and telling her that it was ok for her to go now. All the while tears were flowing freely down his cheeks.
I feel for you mate.

Hi,
I am back from Darwin today.
Ally is in the same condition as she was when I left. She is very happy and in no pain so we are looking after her in hope that it may be something that rights itself.
The vet can find no spinal damage by xray, so we have to wait and see how it goes. We will take her to a specialist this week and see if they can diagnose the problem.
It is really hard as she still wants to take on the postman and anything else she used to do.
I'll keep you posted thanks.

I was wondering how she was going. Sounds hopeful. Thanks for the update.

Well, Rod...I guess the bad news is there's no good news, and the good news is that's all the bad news there is. I have been checking regularly to see how things were going, and hope Ally does improve with time.
Regards
Ian

Perhaps Ally would like some Domi Biscuits? Might help with her joints...

our 11 year old Border Collie had a similar thing today
took him to the vet turns out he has had heart failure & has no circulation with little hope of recovery
as he has been fighting another illness for the past 5 weeks or so we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep

Sorry to hear that.
It's better to send him off peacefully rather than be cruel and keep him going.If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
