 New here & need help
Hi everyone, I'm new here. Had no idea this even existed until I was searching medical info about my yorkie Dublin. He is 3, this past weekend he seemed to become paralyzed in his hind legs. Saturday he began shaking, I just thought he was cold we had a snow storm. Sunday he was limping slightly. Monday he couldn't walk using his hind legs, I brought him to my vet who immediately referred us to a Er specialty Animal hospital. Upon their exam and MRI which was $$$, they said he has a sever herniated disk. To my knowledge he suffered no trauma that would cause this. He is constantly by my side. They said surgery is our only option which is $6000. Right before christmas? Perfect timing!i was searching online, seems like other yorkies have this and can hang on with steroids. That's the route we chose short term.... Get him moving, out of pain, have my 2 girls that adore hike spend the holidays wight their little man then takeit from there. We do not have pet insurance, wish we did. Does anyone have advice or can share a similar story? Please And thank you! |
