One of my nurses has a springer who ha seen diagnosed with malignant hyperthermia. She has been well managed on dantrium and lifestyle modification but she is deterioratingen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/147985?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:11:09 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a3776ddf-3b20-4079-ba8e-f73dd6252ba0Hannah Wynne Richards<p>&nbsp;My sympathy</p> <p>Wynne<img src="/emoticons/v2/Crying_smiley.gif" alt="Very sad" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/147984?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 30 Nov 2015 15:50:10 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a6ee9d42-a2a0-4705-b0b9-555515d069d0Deborah Anwyl<p>none taken at all. We have been having those conversations the last few days. She is generally a very placid springer, her best fried is a little boston who also has health issues and they are quite happy trotting about together. She loves swimming so that is something she is allowed to do every day providing the water is nice and cold. We have been investigating the possibility of getting access to the local snow park for her to have a really good play. Given her temperament I geuninley don&#39; t think day to day that she is suffering but the last few days with the collapsing episodes she has been obviously unhappy for a good half hour after each one and neither of us feel that it is fair on her to allow this to continue. As I said previously, understandably my nurse wants to reassure herself that there is nothing else can be tried but she is a realist and is well aware that the likelihood is that she will lose her :(</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/147983?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 30 Nov 2015 15:42:42 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:2eaec4e8-f73b-4de1-8a43-a71db2f54c59Kate Richardson<p>I&#39;m afraid I have no answers to help you, and am sure you and your nurse have the dog&#39;s best interests at heart, (why is always our staff pets that get weird bad things <img src="/emoticons/v2/Sad_smiley.png" alt="Sad" />) and am also sure you have asked yourselves this as well, but is the dog happy? A springer that can&#39;t exercise doesn&#39;t sound like a good combination (from a mental health point of view) to me. But I don&#39;t know the dog and I don&#39;t&nbsp;know you guys. But a question I feel I have to put to you. Hopefully someone has some magic treatment that we don&#39;t know about, but if not, then ask yourselves is this dog suffering? If the answer is yes, then there is only one option sadly. Not meaning to cause any offense in the slightest by this post.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
