My granddog is my baby she is 4 years old and her name is Dessa. She lives in Tuscaloosa, AL. My daughter first noticed Dessa was walking and all of a sudden she fell over. They have hardwood floors, so they thought maybe she slipped and they were dropping Dessa off at her other Grandparents house and they were flying to see me in Florida. After they got here on Tuesday they talked to the Grandparents and they said she still was not walking right. They took her to the vet the next morning and he gave her a steroid and I believe an antibiotic and sent her home. Later in the afternoon she had a fever so they called the vet and they took her back into his office. Thursday the vet suggested they take her to Birmingham to see an orthopedic vet and when they called the vet said the next appt they had was Tuesday 3/20/12 so they made the appt. My daughter got back home Thursday evening and picked Dessa up. On Friday my daughter called the vet in Tuscaloosa and then the one in Birmingham and the B'ham vet told her to come there immediately, so she took Dessa there. Dessa's temp. was a little over 103. They thought the ride and my daughter being so upset might have something to do with it. The strange thing about all of this is the week before all this started Dessa was given 5 shots in the leg that is giving her the most problem. It is the back and front paw on her left side. This is breaking our hearts. Dessa has never been sick and has always been super active. They say her knee is out of the socket and they think she may have a slipped disk. They want $1,500 to run test and a MRI on Tuesday. The fever has been gone for 2 days. We want our baby girl well. Anyone having any advice please let us know. PLEASE PRAY FOR DESSA!!!!!! |
Why was she given 5 shots in the leg? Was it vaccines?
I will certainly add Dessa to my prayer list and hopefully this poor little one can get diagnosed and treated and find her way back to good health.
