| Faith hurt her back I feel so bad. My little Faith hurt her back and yesterday was not a good day for her. First Libby took a flying leap and landed right on top of Faith. Faith let out a scream. Then Faith, who always waits for me to carry her out of the car, jumped out of the pick up onto our cement driveway. She seemed okay after those incidents, but this morning she seemed to be limping and acting strange, hiding away in the kennel or behind a table in the livingroom and shaking. My vet was in surgery all day so I took her to another. She is on prednisone, but he didn't want to give her a pain killer because she is so small. I am to keep her quiet and no jumping for 2 weeks. He said he could refer me to the U of Minnesota, but Friday my hubby has to have back surgery and next week have hernia surgery, so it is not a good time for me to be up and leaving. I will be very careful with her, as I saw what happened with my daughter's yorkie when they didn't keep him contained with his back injury. He ended up with paralysis and a long road to recovery. If I can't be holding Faith, she will be in the kennel, where she is right now. I just feel so bad.

| I'm sorry. Ellie is in the same boat and it's not fun. Were xrays done? Are they saying it's likely a disc issue? If you can't go to a specialist right now, I would suggest at least talking with your regular vet about it. Back injuries like this are incredibly painful. The steroi will hopefully take the inflammation down, but usually pain drugs are given also. A steroid just is usually not enough. Ellie takes a massive dose of Tramadol and Gabapentin as needed.
