good morning YT
roriee is doing even a little better this morning. she is so alert and is so good when i feed her and give her meds. i have to get her perscription food today but i have to find it first. i went to pet smart yesterday and they do not carry the LD for dogs or the hepatic in a small bag. they had the huge bag but i cant get that until tomorrow so hopefully today i can find it in smaller amountrs until payday..
he did not take a xray. olga thinks that unless the vet has done this type of xray before that unnecessary manipulation of her neck could cause a very bad outcome. so she is still wearing the collar and i am going to do some physical therapy on her tomorrow.. putting her in warm water. holding her up and letting her legs paddle like she is trying to swim.. right now we are just trying to get her neck stable.
she is improving.. very very slow but a steady improvement.. everyday i see little signs that i didnt see the day before or at all last week. last night she wagged her tail. she hasnt done that since i took her to the vet. i cried with joy!
she walks/stubbles out of her bed to get to my arms... that is still the only place she wants to be.. i have said it before but we are very attached to each other. in better days she is always by my side no matter what i am doing.
i have a really good playpen in the garage that i am going to bring in for her. she has a bit more room and it is soft. once she gets stronger that will be where she can move around more freely.
the treatment plan is this
keeping with the steriods 2x a day it is prednisolone.
amoxi drops not sure the dosage getting those today
LD perscription food or royal carm hypatic (sp wrong)
keeping her collar on her at all times
rest.. lots of rest
love so much love.. all my complete and total love for her
physical therpy and movement of her limbs.
i have said it before but i dont know what i would have done without this community through this..all my worst nightmares came true this last week. i just want her to be the happy healty puppy and out of pain.
she doesnt yelp as much now.. maybe once yesterday and so far not today at all. i am just careful to support her head and neck all the time..
i do not think at this point and time giving her to a rescue is the best for her. as long as she keeps improving with my careful care then she is happiest with me.
i still need to get her to athens for the xray.. but the doctro who does it has to have done it before. her neck is to fragile to let someone do it that hasnt done it before.
ok thank you again for being there for me and i will continue to update everyday..
