After just coming back from a great week away ridding the busa ,
I took the wife & my 2 rottis away for a weeks holiday up the coast.
All was fine great times etc till yesterday
We had all just come back along the beach & we were all having a dip in the surf before
heading up for breakfast when it happened.
1 of the boys was standing in the water close to shore when the under tow/drag
went back out to sea, he was standing still in it as if things were fine & he was just
fighting it no worries.
Wrong when he left the water he was strugling to walk but with his chin up as always as they do & with our help he walked the short distance home.
So here we were thinking ok he's strained himself he'll rest up which he did.
But Later in the day things weren't looking good he couldnt stand & was lam in the rear end
We got to the Vet's & it turned out he had a Smashed Vertebra & was infact now paralysised
The Vet said this was a freaky thing to have happened but was not uncomon.
So we had to lay our boy to sleep packed & headed home.
The other dog isnt quite sure whats going on yet , he will miss his brother.
Not sure what to do about another 1 at the moment,wife is heart broken as he was here little boy.
The 1 on the left is leo who we let go
