Heavy heavy heart and advice needed on my baby

[Buster Brown]

Checking in on you and Kiki. I hope and pray she is doing better today. There is also Care Credit which your Vet should have forms for. It helps for those financial emergencies. Bless you and your daughter for not giving up hope we all are praying for Kiki. I understand you husband being the voice of reason but we believe in Yorkie miracles here. Kiki needs time for the swelling to go down so that you can find out how serious the issues she might have to deal with. We have many members here who have Yorkies that deal with seizures but still live a loving and happy life. Sending prayers, hugs, & best wishes.

I am finally home and able to update on Khloe. The vet said that today she was taking some of the high calorie liquid from a syringe but was not moving around on her own. He took her out and said she just stays still in his arms and makes no attempts to get down etc. ( I would say considering the extent of her injuries that would be expected) They are going to continue the steroids and she is being given bits of liquid as injections under the skin since they cannot get an iv into her. I am most concerned that he seems to avoid my questions concerning the medication to manage the pain she must be in. He says that he is certain that she has a very bad headache but when I mention the pain shot he starts talking to me about steriods again. I finally backed him into a corner about the pain shot and he said she can only have it once every 24 hours. I cannot imagine that a single shot of pain medicine would help control pain for an entire 24 hour period. Maybe I am being paranoid but I just want her as comfortable as possible. He will be calling me again tomorrow morning to see if there has been any improvement.
Never have I been as devastated over something as I am over this. Still I am not able to rest or eat much really. The tears I have cried are amazing to me and yet still they fall. The worst part is not knowing what kind of pain she is in and wondering if she is afraid without us in a strange place. Isn't is amazing that only a few ounces of puppy could make that big of an impact on our life? She isn't even like a puppy really, she acts like she is a huge fearless dog and has been living here amongst all of us for years. Regardless of the outcome I am so blessed to have been her momma.
Thank you all so so much for your sweet words and concern. They have been such comfort to me when it seems nothing at all can console me.

This is so sad I just did not know what to say when I read it yesterday. I can tell you that most vets have a very hard time calculating meds for such a tiny little baby. She is very small for her age so it may be the vet is uncomfortable giving her pain meds and is afraid to over dose her.
Also as with any head injury they need to watch for cognitive signs. Making sure she is reacting to light, sound and that sort of thing. Humans with head injury go through the same thing. No pain meds until the swelling is down and they are reacting to sight and sound again.

I just hope and pray your darling little puppy pulls through this. I can't imagine the horror you must be going through. Keep us posted please.

She is hanging in there. I expect it will take a few days, but hopefully, she will improve rapidly. Waiting is awful when there is nothing you can do. It is so hard to think of their suffering. I am so sorry this has happened, and still sending healing thoughts and energy, prayers and best wishes for a full recovery. {{{Hugs}}}

I agree that there are good reasons why the vet is not giving her pain medication. Glad to hear she is conscious and eating from a syringe! Keep us posted on her progress!

Prayers still continue.

Just reading this... I am so sorry! I will keep KiKi in my prayers!

[marlenemaria]

Dear Lord, I have just read this, I am so sorry your baby girl is going through this and you as well.

I have prayed and will continue to pray that she completely recovers and you have her back in safe in your arms so very soon

Please don't lose faith, the power of this forums prayers are just amazing.

I'm wondering if your vet would allow you to visit her and talk with her, I'm so sure your soothing voice and touch will have an impact on her!!!!

Please keep us posted.
