Thank you to all of you for your words of kindness and advice. After a long 12 hours at home through the night, my little Toby is at a 24 hour vet clinic. through the night, he had very brief moments of snapping out of this reaction he has had to anesthesia. This morning his limbs were rigid and I took him directly to my vet. The vets do not seem to understand or be able to figure out what has happened? He did not have low blood sugar. Before I left the emergency clinic, I was allowed to see him, and he was more responsive than I had seen him since I picked him up. I could even see that he was trying to move his little legs. I cannot share with you my grief, worry, and concern. At seeing the estimate of the bill, I have to say, that I feel that we are asked to choose between life (agreeing to the bill) and death. Of course, we want our babies to live....but a 3000 vet estimate for the weekend? I almost feel like the victim of a crime. So, any advice or words of wisdom regarding rigidity not due to hypoglycemia? There is a lean toward a LS by the vets. I am in shock that my 4 month old puppy is so sick.....and all because I took him to be neutered. Thank you in advance for any information you provide to help ease my concerns.
