So she suggested bringing her home to relax with us for the night and taking her in in the morning for a day of observation. She said we need to give the anti inflammatory medicine some time to do its work.
She just tried to get onto her pad from her bed... saddest thing I've ever seen. Her back legs are literally jello to her and would just drag behind her if we didn't try to pick her back end up. She would not pee or poop with us holding her. I think I will be up all night.
This just hit her like a ton of bricks out of nowhere. Yesterday she was our happy go lucky dog barking at everything and running around the house, and today we need to start thinking that if it comes down to it, can we afford back surgery to save her ability to walk in the next couple of days?
She is the most important thing IN THE WORLD to me. She is only 4 years old and so healthy... I can't stop asking why. |
this just happened to another yorkie on here and i will try to find the thread - turned out it was as stroke in the spine and happened all of a sudden like your dog - I will be back with the thread
