Re: Mucopolysaccharidosis type 6

Thanks for your reply Val.  The dog is insured but she has deteriorated so much recently.  Her back legs don’t work properly inasmuchas they cross over when she is walking or she bunnyhops due to the stroke.  Her hip joint is not the correct shape and her knee is frilly.  Her bones were malformed before birth.  She is on Tramadol painkillers but when the vet touches certain parts of her leg or back she is still in pain.   I did read on the net that bone marrow transplants could be involved.  I think this may have been a puppy farm dog as my friend’s son met the lady halfway at a service station 4 years ago at Christmas.  I feel so sorry for my friend as this is her “baby” and she is just so worried that they won’t be able to help her.  I do believe the vet is really trying to help. Glasgow Vet School is a well known establishment and if it wasn’t for them Molly wouldn’t be here with us today.
