Blood Clot, please pray for Ariel I just came from the vet and the Dr says Ariel is paralyzed on the right side of her body and slightly paralyzed on her back left leg. She still has control over her anals, which he says it's a good thing. He said this is happening most likely due to a bloot clot in her neck area. When I asked for a reason behind it, he said he doesn't know, that it does happen to dogs. When I asked about her recovery, he said there's a 50/50 chance of her losing all function. This is really stressing me out. She was fine yesterday before bed but when I was about to leave the house in the morning, she was just laying on her right side. She didn't get up and I just thought she was sleepy so I picked her up and put her on the couch while I was getting breakfast. I expected her to sit but she flopped over to the right side. I put her on the floor and tried to get her to run but she couldn't get up which made me believe she broke or misplaced a leg bone. But the Dr says it's her spinal cord. Has anyone had any experience with this or know what might have happened? She was happy and running around yesterday so this is really confusing/stressing me out :( |

Thanks everyone for putting Ariel in your thoughts. TLC thank you for the link. It gave me much more information, and the vet did say it could be a herneating disc. I'm going to be picking her up around 5 or 6. I'm hoping for more info by then. |
I'm SO sorry to read about Ariel! *HUG* That poor baby...and poor you. Is the vet taking x-rays today? If it is a ruptured disc, it should show up on x-rays. My daughter's yorkie, Kirby had a ruptured disc and was paralyzed on his back legs. He recovered fully, but it was 5 or 6 weeks and very scary. Also, that neck problem that some yorkies get...Atlantoaxial Instability? That just came to mind too and I don't know a lot about that. I'll say a prayer for your precious Ariel...and for you! I hope to read good news in an update soon! |
Hi, I hope your Ariel gets better soon! Hugs, Meli & Chloe |
Please let us know how she is doing. My God you must be a wreck..I am sending you lot of HUGS. Please keep us updated. |
Sending more prayers that way! Don't lose the faith! |
So sorry to hear about your babies illness, you will both be in my prayers |
So sorry to hear about your baby's situation...I will certainly pray for healing for the pup and peace for you.... |
