SOME DAYS SHE IS HER REGULAT SWEET MENTAL SELF... RUNNING AROUND AND CHASING OUR LABRADOR, OTHER DAYS SHE IS IN SOME PAIN. SEEMS LIKE WHEN HER PAIN COMES ON SHE HAS SEVERAL SIGNS SHE SHOWS US SUCH AS ARCHING HER BACK, EARS STRAIGHT UP AND ERECT, SLOW WALKING AND THAT 3000 YARD STARE WITH HER HEAD DOWN. WILL BE REFILLING PAIN MEDS WHICH SEEM TO BE HELPING SOMEWHAT ALTHOUGH I WISH I KNEW MORE ABOUT DOGGIE PAIN MEDS AND WHAT TO ASK FOR THAT IS REALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO KNOCK HER OUT SO SHE CAN REST AND GET BETTER WHICH IS WHAT SHE NEEDS.
I AM CONSIDERING TAKING OUR HAIR CLIPPERS AND TRIMMING HER UP / DOWN AND GET ALL THAT FUR OUTTA HER FACE. SO MANY OF YOU HAVE SUCH GREAT CUTS FOR YOUR YORKIES... I FEEL LIKE WE ARE LACKING IN THAT AREA.
FUNNY... EVEN IN PAIN THE OTHER DAY , WHEN I DROPPED A PIECE OF CHICKEN ON THE FLOOR WHILE MAKING CHICKEN SALAD, EMMA DASHED IN AT LIGHTNING SPEED, GRABBED IT AND THATS ALL SHE WROTE! SO NICE TO SEE HER EATTING AGAIN!!!
TO ALL MY SUPPORTIVE FRIENDS AND ESPECIALLY kalina82 THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!

Hi I am so glad to hear Emma is eating. drinking and feeling better most days. Thats really great to hear. I still think you need to have her checked and diagnosed to pin point what her problem is. you dont want to guess and treat her for some thing thats not whats wrong with her. I hope you can take her in and they can find the problem. I would not let them guess, Thats what they did with my male and he suffered way longer then what he should of for his problem. and we ended up paying more for the vets guessing games. so dont let the vet do that with your Emma. I would not let her run around and playing with your other dog, she may end up making it worse in the long run. Good luck to you and My prayers are still coming for Emma.
