Tibbe has been x-rayed 3 times in the last four months & he didn't even have to be sedated for them, let alone anesthetized. After his 5-23-12 possible fall, they did give him a pain injection B4 x-rays just to help any pain he might be in from any fall & keep the positioning for x-rays from hurting so much in case he had injuries. Don't know what position your baby would have to be put in or how long the exposure is to require actual anesethsia. |
Sorry...work has kept me extremely busy this week. Roxie is doing ok, but I think we are still going to go ahead with the x-rays. The vet said she would actually need to be on her back for the x-rays, and that's why he would need to give anesthesia. My co-worker, who is trained in veterinary medicine, says she doesn't think it would be necessary, though. We are going to call tomorrow and get this all sorted out. If there is a way we can do it without putting her under, it would be ideal. Even though she seems better, I still want to make sure there isn't some problem that we're missing. |
I only know the neuro surgeon at NCSU that did Zhoie's AAI surgery, explained they do need mild sedation to do the radiographs because they like to put their heads in certain positions and have them on their belly and side for different views. I can see why it would need done, it would be impossible to get a pup to lay perfectly still especially in various positions. they want. I'm so glad you are moving forward with having the xray done, at the very least it will rule out AAI on be such a relief and comfort to know. We are actually leaving Sun. 17th to travel back to NCSU for Zhoie to have a dental done in their dentistry unit and then a neuro follow up in the afternoon. Like you, I'm worried to have her sedated, but it's the nature of the beast and needs to be done. Just think, if I didn't keep up with her dental cleanings and then her other organs would get effected down the road, I couldn't live with that neglect. Send prayers for my girl that all will go well. Please keep us posted on how your girl is doing. Continuing prayers for improvement and nothing serious is found in her xray. |
My terrier/X was hospitalized from Friday AM till dinner time Saturday (she ate peepee pads and was very sick). We had an awful time with her the first few days after she came home. Scared, hiding, wouldn't eat She was OK after about 4 days. Louise |
Just so you don't think we fell off the face of the planet...Roxie's x-rays are scheduled for next Thursday, 6/21. I will keep you updated on the results. |
I am glad you are getting the xrays done and hope it's nothing major. Prayers for you and Roxie. |
Anxiety is setting in about Roxie's x-rays tomorrow. I really hope everything goes well. They are going to keep her for observation for a few hours before they call us to come get her. :( |

I't good to hear you are going to get her x-ray done. Sending prayers the x-rays will be fine and you will have peace of mind nothing there is not a neuro problem going on. I know how anxious you are feeling, but keep in mind you are doing it for your babies well being. Zhoie was just put under yesterday for her dental after having AAI surgery 6 months ago...and I was terried. Now, I'm feel so much better knowing I'm doing everything in my power to take proper care of her teeth for as long as we can. I'll check back tomorrow..you both are in my thoughts and prayers. :ghug: |
Yes. Seems your girl is more than just cranky to me if it's going on 8 weeks at this point. The biting, the sleeping a lot, the laying down in the middle of the road on walks. Seems something is draining her energy. I'd get her bloodwork done again also. I think that's a sure fire way to start to uncover any physical problem and not have that worry on your mind. Blood work in my area is about $125, not horrible for peace of mind. If its not physical then you can start behavioral training with her, reteach her all the things she seems to have forgotten. My Fletcher goes through spurts of that kind of behavior, but it only lasts a few hours or on & off for a day, no longer than that. He's too curious to stay mad. When I can't find him in the house, I just assume he's under our bed. So I open a door to outside or open the fridge or rustle his food bag. Within 15 seconds he's right there! LOL |
Prayers to Roxie for tomorrow. How is she acting/feeling/moving lately? Any better? |
I hope all is going well today. Did they tell you what kind of anesthetic they are using for this? I really hope you can get her to a specialist or a university hospital where they so experienced at doing these things. I feel so bad for her. Something is causing her pain and up until now she has not had proper testing. What did they Xray? |
Just checking for news. Please update when you can. Hugs & prayers |
Checking back to see if any update on little Roxie...anyone heard? |
I'll update after the x-rays tomorrow...I promise! Roxie's been a bit more energetic and playful the past week or so, which is a good sign. She still won't come up on the couch and she is still hesitant with the stairs, so I think the x-rays are still a good idea. |
