On Sunday, the morning came and she was not her usual self. SHe wasnt sounding the 'alarm' and getting us up to let her do her buisness. She was reluctant to get out of her crate. Ears back, eyebrows raised, tail between her legs. WE automatically knew something was up. We pulled her out and watched her limp along, barely holding herself up. We carried her outside and she slowly walked over to the grassy area and did her thing but just stood there staring at us, shaking.
After a good 1/2 hour we decided to call the vet. The vets office was closed and referred us to a 'ER' facility. Needless to say, we took her over there to get to the bottom of her problem. After 2 hours of waiting for bloodwork, X rays we get a prognosis....Tummyache the idiot says..Great, okay so we pay the 300 bucks!!! for basically someone to tell us what we thought was the problem. But whatever, i just wanted to make sure she was ok.
Now, the day moves along, night comes and she eats very little and drinks no water unless we force it to her in a water bottle. Her back legs are getting worse and she is struggling to stand up straight.
Night passes, obviously we both didnt sleep too well considering what is going on with her.
This morning, she is totally listless. We pull her out of the cage and nudge her to walk and she falls on her face....this isnt a 'tummyache'!!!
My wife calls the 'ER' and basically tell her that if she wants the dog to be seen today it must be after 6 pm and another $77 for the visit must be paid plus whatever tests, xrays what have you are needed. WE ARE SO LIVID!!!
ANyhow, we took her to her regular vet, she is on antibiotics and an IV. The doctor said they are treating this symptomatically At first they thought it could be tick related due to i found her with one about a week ago. Theyve ran tests but cannot determine what is going on...The Doc mentioned it could be neurological.... But they are not sure, they just wish she can talk...CAn someone, anyone please shed some light on this or maybe a similar situation youve experienced. This is so nerve racking and has my anxiety disorder at a recent all time high.
Not only am i worried about her...but now im flat broke....and havent gotten the vets bill
I wish she could talk too...
