stay positive - when my friends dog went into a coma from ivermectin toxicity she was very upset not knowing what to do and i called a bunch of vets there were some that said put her down she will never be the same,etc but our vet now said no way she will be fine they are like sleeping beauty and she will wake up and be fine so i only called and told my friend that not what the others said and so glad i did as she is perfectly normal now. She came out of it with no seizures, nothing - she got pneumonia as they had to suction her trachea etc but she got through it.
there are alot of support groups on yahoogroups.com so i would join one asap and learn as much as you can. If worst case she is in a wheely cart I would not worry she is tiny enough to wear diapers and be in a wheely cart as my neighbor takes his dog for a walk all the time and his pug is in a wheely cart - he adopted him that way.
I just think it is too soon and they have to give you the worst case scenario as it is prepare for the worst and hope for the best type thing. Yorkie prayers are amazing. I have seen it over and over so give it some time.
Kathy's dog was running around totally fine and next minute no use of his legs and he is now running around again with most use so I would talk to her as she has been through what you are going through just as others have so lean on those who have been through it and be strong as she needs you as dogs sense our feelings and she needs you to tell her it is ok she is going to be ok and that you love her as it will help her get better
I know you are disappointed as any of us would be going through what you are going through i cannot even imagine as i was a basket case when i almost lost dex to pancreatitis and they basically told me he may not live and the last yorkie died that was in there a month before him as he was real severe and i broke down and cried as I thought he was just going in for fluids and all would be ok and when they came in and said it was not good my heart sank. But he is alive and well today now for 4 years and i feel so blessed. Modern vet medicine is amazing these days and the key is getting to the specialists in serious situations which you and your vet did and that increases the odds tremendously. |
