@GriffinsMom, my girl Lady had a suspected brain tumour when she had a seizure at 13 years of age. My vet put her on Prednisone, and things improved. She was on and off the drug for the next few years until she really started to get worse at just short of 16 years old. My vet said that for some, Prednisone seems to shrink the tumour. Of course, it would depend on size and location. I don't want to give false hope, but you might inquire about it.
Hope's at the Vets ER.

My Maggii broken her leg at 4 1/2 months… after two surgeries to first insert a plate in the leg and then a second to re-open the growth plate... I understand your pain.... been there, done that... it was an accident... period, end of the conversation. They are dogs, they play, they run, they jump... they can and do get hurt... we do the best we can...
By the way, Maggii turned out perfect, finished her championship both in the show ring and as a Field champion... had many Best of Breeds, placings in group and a Best in Specialty win... along with whelping a litter.... so all well that ended well.

So glad she is doing better. Our Xander dislocated his hip at around 5 months. He was jumping up on our bed from one side just S the whippet came racing up from the other and they hit mid air. Fortunately our chiropractor was able to fix it, he did require twice a week underwater treadmill therapy for six weeks to bring him back to 100 percent

Thanks for the update on Hope, i'm glad she's doing well

Amen on accidents happen. Thing is, same fall even if you had been standing watching probably. All things designed to age us.
Her licking your cheek, don't they just bore into your heart and carve their shape there?

So glad to hear Hope is doing better. I am sure she will be back to normal in no time..
