I'm going to get the NB Vegetarian tonight and some cod or sweet potatoes or something I can put on her food that is not turkey, lamb, or definitely not beef and keep a very close eye on her and keep her in the air conditioning. Frankly, she could care less about the walks; she would rather you throw a ball for her but she pitches a fit to go cause she can't stand Ringo getting to do something she's not! You should see her biting his ankles if I go to put his harness on; she can't stand it.
If I see one wobbly leg; she's going to be seen somewhere by someone if my regular Vet won't see her.
Thanks for your help and support; I'll try to pass it on to someone else in need this evening.  |
Good plan
Just to also make you aware of why i want you to keep an eye on her. My friend has a maltese and her dog started having back legs go out on her so my friend took her to ER over the weekend. They said it is probably just a disc issue and gave her metacam. Within a few months she had GME and seizures etc so her dog was misdiagnosed by ER as it was not a disc issue and had they diagnosed properly upfront they would have been able to treat sooner. She started having seizures after the legs going out incidents within a couple months. This is why i want you to keep an eye on her because the glazed look is seizure behavior and legs going out i am still concerned since it happened at home in your bedroom as well as walk. If just on walk then I would buy it but since one other time than walk i would be on the watch with mine.
Sorry to be paranoid but better to be aware in case it happens again
also shaking is a sign of pain as well
