 HELP! Paralyzed Yorkie
Two days ago my 3 yr. old 10 pound male yorkie couldn't get up and was shaking all over. Rushed him to hospital where he still is in ICU. The MRI reflected a contusion on his spine causing complete paralysis from neck down. Has no pain reaction in front left leg nor can he bark. He is able to eat when hand fed. Has been rec'g doses of steroids and we are waiting for a spinal fluid test to rule out meningitis. Dr's prognosis is not favorable for him ever to be able to walk again. This just happened out of the blue, totally unaware of any traumatic injury occurring. Has anyone exp'd this? We've already spent close to $4000 in two days just trying to assess the situation. Please, any feedback would be truly appreciated.
