Worried about Layla - Page 58 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

linz06 · 11-19-2010, 06:25 AM

I have tried a lot of things with Layla, including putting something under the carrier. We thought maybe it was because the seat slopes back but when we fixed that it didn't stop her crying either. I used to take her to a holistic vet twice a week and it was TERRIBLE! She was so uncomfortable and scared. I'm just praying Scott can make his time there last until Christmas... when we go back to work in January her crate rest will almost be over. Then I'd feel a little more safe.

Last night Layla slept in her crate. She is not used to that anymore since we've had her in her bed lately and were just able to bring her crate home from my office yesterday. Well, I have been awake since 3:30 this morning because Layla just didn't want to be in there anymore and she wouldn't stop crying!

I know it means she's feeling better but she needs to stay in there.

I don't think I mentioned this yesterday, but her pain seems to be gone. She can easily turn her head in both directions, and up and down, and she is hating being cooped up! I expressed her in the bathroom at my office yesterday, and I put her down so I could clean up after and she immediately scooted to the door, wanting to scoot back to the desk like usual! But that's not allowed on crate rest so I had to pick her up and carry her. She doesn't understand why she can't just get back to being normal! But it's for her own good.

I knew it would be really hard. They are so independent. I hope you can get some rest this weekend. You've got to be totally exhausted from worry. I hope she continues to get better!

I am so glad to hear that she is feeling better. It is so hard to keep them confined when they think they are all better. I hope you all get some rest this weekend.

(((HUGS))) You are the BEST mommy Linz, keep that in mind when things get overwhelming!

This too shall pass.

See things are looking up, Layla is starting to feel better by the day, yes it's difficult on you and Scott...but remember she is everyones inspiration, including you. Keep up the good work with her...you will be blessed in life, I just know it.

linz06 · 11-22-2010, 07:02 AM

I have some good news guys!

This morning, Layla was at the door in her carrier ready to go, and we were just finishing up packing our lunches for work. All of a sudden we heard a deep WOOF WOOF, and I thought to myself "That dog sounds close!" and then I realized it was LAYLA. She got her bark back after 7 months!!!!!!!!! She always had a deep bark for such a little girl, but since April it has just been a loud yelp. Now it's back!!!

yorkieusa · 11-22-2010, 07:17 AM

I'm glad Layla found her bark again after so long. I hope she continues to improve.

celstu1 · 11-22-2010, 12:13 PM

I am so hoping and praying for a Christmas miracle here. I just love this little girl so much and how much of a fighter she is. Keep up the good work Layla. We all <3 you!

Buster Brown · 11-22-2010, 01:18 PM

I am so glad to hear Layla has her power bark back!

Sweet little Layla has really touched my heart, and I feel the same way as you. I can understand how exciting it must have been to hear her powerful bark. This is wonderful news!

roseslevi · 11-22-2010, 02:56 PM

After the terribly trying week you had....I am so glad that something great happened for you!

emmyran · 11-23-2010, 04:08 AM

Oh Lindsey I'm so happy about Layla getting better! After I read about her being able to bark, I looked at Annie and told her the good news.....she wagged her tail, growled and said, "grrrrEAT NEWS LAYLA, YIIPPEEEE!!" lol

I'm hoping you are over the flu/cold you had a few days ago and feeling better, with more energy. Things are lots easier when you're well.

Thanks! It turns out I wasn't really over my sickness and had to leave work yesterday because I was sick again! Layla and I went to my grandma's house so Scott could work for the rest of the day, and I put her carrier on the bed and we had a good sleep together. She was so comfortable that I woke up and she was rolled right over on her back, snoring with her tongue out! LOL! But I'm feeling much better today!

We got news that Scott is going back to his other office on Monday so we'll have to figure something out with Layla. The good thing is that she's not in pain anymore so I don't think a little movement will hurt her. Maybe we'll try the first day driving from Scott's office to mine with her alone on the seat. I hope she does well because that's the easiest way to do it.

yorkieusa · 11-23-2010, 06:07 AM

Oh, my! I can just picture her sleeping like that.

I hope you really are better. I hope you can get things worked out. That is a lot of driving for you, but I know it is worth it to be able to live outside the city. Special hugs for Layla.

emmyran · 11-23-2010, 08:01 AM

You really needed that rest at your Grandmother's house. I'm so glad you and Layla got to take a nice nap. I can't believe she was rolled over on her back

.....and I don't think she would be doing that if she was in pain either. And I hope little Layla does ok driving to Scott's work and back to yours. I'll be saying some prayers and thinking about you both.

So funny when you said what you thought Layla was thinking. "well if this is how it's going to be, I'll just sleep". lol Same thing I've thought about Annie. Sometimes she looks at me like "apparently you want me to sleep all day again!" Last night she wasn't happy with either the crate, or the stroller and I finally (after knowing for sure she didn't need to potty) stopped 'giving in' and just left her in the stroller (the place she usually sleeps and seems to like the most) and stopped talking to her and we both fell asleep. lol

My youngest baby girl Greta, is extremely upset that Annie is getting so much attention. When I am fussing with Annie, I look over and Greta is lying in her cloud bed, peering over at Annie out of the corner of her eye, like she's saying "oh, is she the High Queen?" and rolling her eyes. Greta also pouts! If I try to pick her up right after I've been hugging and kissing Annie, sometimes she jumps up and runs to her crate where I can't touch her!!! These little ones are amazingly smart...and jealous! lol
