Well, just got back from the Vet, and have brought the MurphMan home.
So basically, we still are not sure WHAT is wrong, but the thoughts are leaning towards a pinched nerve in his neck that is just not showing up on the MRI - which is APPARENTLY normal! So, he has had cage rest for ONE week, and now must have another 3 weeks of cage rest at home! That is going to be a huge issue - quite clearly for US, not for him. He was apparently an ANGEL at the Vet - so calm, quiet, etc. Of course, here at home he is the wingey, whiney, moaney dog.
So let's see if he is able to sleep through the night with no pain! He is on two type of pain killers, and has a new blanket, and pillow - and has ME, sitting here looking at him, wishing I could take him OUT OF THE CAGE!
IF, IF, IF the pain DOES re-occur, our next option is to do a CT scan. with some high resolution special thing - but let's hope that is NOT necessary, and that this cage rest has helped, and will help for the future.
Photos of the ORPHAN dog shortly ....
