My dog started having some issues Thursday night with not walking around as much (she’s a very hyper, healthy girl) and so I stayed up with her and she got progressively worse till I convinced my mom to take her to the vet. They ran all kinds of tests on her and concluded that she must have hurt herself somehow and gave her a shot of buprenex and sent her home where she did not move (we never left her alone at all) for over 24 hours to the point of urinating on herself. She would only eat peanut butter off a spoon and would only drink water from a ladle held under her mouth, but drank at least two bowl fulls total. The vet kept telling us it could be up to 24 hours before she started getting up, but she didn’t, so we took her to the vet again today and they ran a ton more tests and said all vitals are perfect and all organs are perfect but she has one area on her spine that looks swollen and hurt so they’re trying steroids tonight and transferring her back to her regular vet tomorrow to make sure it’s working. She can now walk a little with assistance when forced and all legs are functioning. She’s also much more alert but obviously in severe pain. But I have no clue what could have happened to her-she’s NEVER once in her entire life been outside without a leash or anything and she’s our only dog, so how in the world could she get hurt? The only thing we could think was she fell down the stairs. And what can I do to help her heal? Does she need a doggie wheelchair or a sling or something while she recuperates? She’s a big dog (55 pounds) and that’s a lot of weight for her to have to support. Maybe I could do some type of physical therapy or massage therapy?

Person is working on a clinical trial (only healthy patients) so they are only doing vitals /check ups to see how they are doing and if /what side effects are occuring. Person is NOT prescribing medications nor diagnosing.

He is still mobile but walks like he is a senior citizen. This came on suddenly so I think he may have hurt himself while jumping up on furniture or playing. He has not lost his appetite and is able to use the litter box for both urinating and defecating. The vet checked his vitals and he is fine with no broken bones.

My wife and I had a weekend get away.
We descided to stay in a higher priced motel due to the fact they had an indoor pool and hot tub.
A little history about my wife.
She had a bad allergy to FIRE ANTS. One fire ant will send her into anti-falactic shock ( please excuse the spelling )
Anyway we descided to stay in this particular motle due to the fact they have an indoor pool and hot tub. We thought this would be safe for her because of her ant allergys.
Well we get to the hot tub and things are nice and we are relaxing and having fun. I just happen to look at one side of the hot and saw FIRE ANTS were on the cement and crawling clopse to the opint that they could fall into the water.
At that point I yold her what I saw and suggested that we get her out of the hot tub. She gets out walks about 15 feet and sits down in a chair. She said " I dont feel right ". At that point I walk over to her and she passes out.
I know that the passing out could have been a result of getting out of the hot tub. I noticed that she was having problems breathing. Then I had someone call 911.
While waiting on the EMS the next 10 or so minuites were HELL.
Her lips were starting to turn blue and I could hear her struggeling to breath. When the EMS did arrive, they asked what happened. I told them of her ant allergy and I thought she had been bit.
So they do vitals on her and told me later that her blood pressure was at dangerious low levels and that she was not moving mush air.
Her oxygen stats were down in the high 30′s.

Anyway they treated her for anti-falatic shock with an eppie shot.
Long styory short she is spending the night in the hospital, so
Do we have a case for persional injury?
Is the hotel liable?
She is recovering fine but that’s not the point……
Do we have a case?
What do I need to do?
Thanks…….
