My brother's Springer Spaniel Maggie has been battling a respiratory
infection for about 3 weeks now. As if that and her recent seizures
weren't enough, she fell off the seat of Pat's truck a couple days ago
and looked to be in pain. So Pat took her in to the vet to followup on
her URI and find out what's hurting her since the fall.

THe vet did a full set of x-rays and found some interesting things.
Namely that a couple of her vertebra (sp?) were fractured in the past
and are now heavily calcified.  Based on her x-rays. seizure history,
and other exams he's done in the past he theorizes that someone in the
past attacked Maggie with a baseball bat, breaking her back then hitting
  her in the head and leaving her for dead.

We do know that she ended up in the pound in Los Cruces, NM and that she
was adopted from the pound by a Springer rescue volunteer in Phoenix.
Pat then adopted Maggie from the lady in Phoenix. Whoever did the damage
to Maggie in Las Cruces had best hope that neither Pat nor I ever learn
their identity.

Anyway, the bottom line is that she is getting new meds for her
infection, her current meds seem to be keeping her seizures under
control, and she's getting new meds to help her back feel better.
