My dog might have a spinal cord injury, PLEASE HELP!?
My 3 year old yorkie hasn’t been able to walk on her own for 10 days now, since we noticed it last tuesday the 21st we took her to a vet, we thought it was broken or sprained so we wanted to discard any possibilities. He gave her pain meds and said it wasn’t broken (that was our worry) but if we wanted to be sure we can go to a vet with xray machines as he didnt have any tech on site and would refer us to one who did. So we went and he took xrays and said the problem is not her leg, but her spinal cord, he showed us the xray and said there was spots something generic, im not quite sure i was so nervouse and just wanted to get out, that i just wanted to know if it was something curable he said it is, but the dog has to be isolated and peeing and pooping on her own, but there is a ball on the side of her stomach/rib area that is worrying me, could it be from the shots? or is that part of what is causing the lameness on her leg, the vet gave her prednizone but until this day, going to be a week tomorrow my dog still can not walk. Im worried that things can be more serious, so i want to know if anyone has experienced this or knows any information. it would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank You, God Bless!
I meant vet said it was something hereditary NOT generic*
Also, when she barks she whimpers more than anything, (like it hurts her) she is the same playful yorkie, but just cant move due to only her right leg being moveable
if she is ;eft at home alone for a long time she goes to the bathroom on the bed, blankets etc. she hasnt lost her appetite and is drinking lots of water and eating alot more than normal, she rarely sleeps at night and mainly rests throughout the day. i know shes in pain, so what can we do??
*****I KNOW NO ONE CAN GIVE ME A REALIABLE AND DIAGNOSE OVER THE INTERNET, THATS WHY I SAID… HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO ANY OF YOUR DOGS?*****
It’s not that i am annoyed, and i know this isnt a place to find solutions, and/or help treat anything.. i just wanted to know if anyone went through the same thing, and as per your prior experience Gail, i will choose you as best answer THANKS Everyone..
My dog is walking much better now, not as much lameness on her leg, check up is on tuesday (10 days) i will be prepared!! Thanks!
