A little update on Mouse (now Gus) 🐭
Gus started to lose mobility in his back legs suddenly and became extremely wobbly - unable to walk properly, couldn’t toilet without toppling over and struggling with pain and day to day life 😔
His mum took him to the vet hospital for an MRI, CT scan and spinal tap and it was found that he had atlanto-axial luxation (a congenital condition where the dislocation of the first two neck vertebrae cause compression on the spinal cord). He underwent a 5 and a half hour emergency spinal surgery just days later and after 3 nights of hospitalisation and monitoring by neurologists he was back home ❤️
He still has a long road ahead of him with his recovery but he has already started to gain some mobility back in his hind legs! He’s such a little fighter and we really couldn’t be prouder of him 🫶🏼
