I do not post often, but I have learned so much from reading other threads on this site. Right now I'm frustrated and worried about my 2 year old Yorkie. About two weeks ago she became extremely odd and completely out of character. She also chronically shaked as if she were cold or had a fever. I immediately took her to the vet and turned out, she did have fever and a sore throat. I gave her the medication and after 6 days nothing changed. Her behavior remained odd and the shakes continued. When I took her back the vet said her fever was gone, as well as the sore throat. When he examined her he said that her knees were bothering her...she was in pain. I'd need to get her legs fixed. No problem because I expected this to happen one day. And it made complete sense.
I found a specialist to do the surgery and took her in for a pre-op appointment. The new vet looked her over and even watched her walk. She concluded that yes, she does indeed need this surgery very badly but it appeared that she also has done something to her neck. That must be where her pain is coming from. So now the new vet gave her some pain reliever, muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammatory. It's been three days on all those meds and still nothing has changed. She still eats and drinks normally as well as goes to the restroom as normal.
Has anybody ever had a similar experience because I've become extremely frustrated, worried and upset. I also lost my job 2 months ago from downsizing and the vet bills are costing me so much.
If you have any kind of insight to a problem like this, I would appreciate it so very much.
Thanks,
Misty
