So a bit of an update. Two months ago Raven could barely walk or stand up and was going downhill fast by the day. After surgery to repair a herniated disk in her neck (pics on page 44 of this thread), the improvement has been amazing. Here is a video of her at physio on the treadmill in the water tank, and then another clip of her doing some exercises at home:

So although Raven will never fully recover, and has some small deficits remaining, I could not be more pleased with the outcome. We went from being pretty convinced she was going to have to be put down, or would die in surgery, to having a pretty normal (as normal as these dogs get) back in the family.
Thanks to everyone who wished us well along the way.
Cheers, Al
Very true @Larry S. The loyalty of that Akita was something that will always remain with me. The Chow Chow was a funny fellow. Very nice temprament but wouldn't listen to a word I said. If I told him to "Sit"!... he just looked at me as if I was 'off my head'! Here they are crammed into the back of my ex-wife's 1969 VW Karmann Ghia Convertible.
Lovely dogs but the trouble was my ex-wife didn't know where to draw the line with pets so She decided to get a 'Vietnamese pot bellied miniature pig'. Trouble is she knew as much about pigs as I know about watches. Fakk all!
She drove 100 miles to Wiltshire (in the West of England), gave a farmer £30 and came back to London with this...
She said "isn't he adorable? They're very rare you know!
I said "point number 1. That ain't a Vietnamese pot bellied pig! That's just an ordinary fakkin piglet!
Point number 2. If the dog's don't murder it and eat it first... the fakkin thing is going to end up weighing more than the pair of us together and we will be up to our knees in pig shite!"
I caught the frog again before she bolted,but check the stink eye she's giving me:
Just love how Chunky has his bed by the fire but decides the rug is for him, what a boy 👍
He's got 4 beds dotted all around the house and spends zero time in any of them. Usually positions himself to cause maximum trip hazard potential.
Their beds look wonderfully comfortable, no wonder they choose to settle down early !
