I pray little Pixie will get some relief from her pain meds.

Thanks. I know I was just praying it wasn't neurological. I know so many on here have gone through the LP nightmare and everyone's experience and prayers will get us through.

Oh no Patti, prayers coming from me! I am so sorry to hear you are going thru this. I'm glad she is getting a little better and you went to another vet. Hope she gets 100% better and that you know what happened. Poor little baby.

I just read about little Pixie, Belle and I haven't been on YT for awhile but we are sending prayers and puppy kisses to Pixie and her mommy. When Belle was 4 months old at 2 pounds she somehow rolled over on a pillow and must have landed wrong on her back leg. She cried so painfully I couldn't stand it so we called our vet at 7pm and she met us at the clinic. It's a small town so they don't have emergency vets. She looked at Belle for about 10 minutes and said "she must have done something to her leg."
Okay, she's a vet, I'm an emergency room tech and I knew that much. She gave her some pain meds and said we'd probably have to do surgery. It cost us $250.00 for 10 minutes (I'm in the wrong business) We took Belle home and I held her most of the rest of the night. The pain meds helped, she still had trouble standing on it for a few days but then she started getting better. We did not take her back as they wanted to operate and hadn't even done an xray. For a couple months if Belle jumped or stepped wrong she would cry and I would pick her up and rub her leg and give her kisses and she was fine. We recently moved into a three story townhome and I was worried about the steps but leave it to Belle to overcome any problems that may interfere with her playing. She runs up the steps fine and my husband and I watch her going down stairs, she just flies and her back left leg never touches a step. She was just into the vet for her yearly shots and they said she was fine. We are hoping nothing shows up in the future. We too had prayers and thoughts from YTers and I know how much that helps. Just can't bear to see these little ones suffer. Patti, we wish you good luck and send lots of love to you both.

I am so glad the diagnosis wasn't her back or anything neurological. Jada has LP and luckily it hasn't ever popped out or caused pain. I am so sorry she has LP, but I am glad it wasn't something life threatening. Hugs and prayers for you all. I hope Pixie is feeling better this morning.

Sweet Apple · 06-09-2010, 02:50 AM

Omg'sh, how scarry...I just saw this thread this a.m...I wanted to tell you that my Apple never ever had signs of LP, all the way up to a year old...She jumped out of a friend's arms, onto a wood floor, and didn't cry or anything...Within a week, her knee popped out, on a walk, and she fell down...I grabbed her up and it must have popped it back into place...I was beside myself w/anxiety about it all...Then I talked w/Lyn from the Haven (we live in the same area), and she helped me put things into perspective...Anyway, Apple has only had one or maybe two more episodes of this, and they weren't even as bad as the first, and it's been 8 months since the first episode...The vet did say she had grade 1 in her left back knee, and not to be too concerned...I think the only time they recommend surgery is if it pops out and won't go back in, or keeps popping out so much that it is too painful on the pup...Anyway, I'm glad Pixie is o.k., and do try to talk w/Lyn, as she has lots of knowledge about everything on the planet w/these yorkie babies...Will be praying for your little Pixie...

Patti, I am so sorry about Pixie. Sending prayers for healing....

I cannot imagine what you must be going through with your house getting ready to be painted and all the trips to the ER. Prayers for you, too....

jenn1381 · 06-09-2010, 03:22 AM

Poor little Pixie! I hope she has a quick recovery. Oliver has LP and thankfully has not appeared to show signs of pain from it. I think this situation is a good reminder to me to keep an eye on him and his jumping around. My mind set is, if he's not hurting and doesn't favor it, it's no big deal. One wrong move and that could all change.

Keep us updated! Hoping the meds work and Pixie is at least comfortable by now. Praying for no surgery!!!

BonBon · 06-09-2010, 04:29 AM

Patti, I'm so sorry to hear about your terrible scare with Pixie. My heart was racing reading yours and Connie's posts. Thank goodness they think they've found the problem. I'll keep sweet Pixie in my prayers.

How is she feeling this morning?

roseslevi · 06-09-2010, 04:37 AM

Sending prayers your way......

red98vett · 06-09-2010, 05:03 AM

I'm just seeing this - how is she today Patti ?

Connie - thanks so much for being such a friend to her and I'm sending postive thoughts to Patti and Pixie ! She's such a tiny thing and I hope things are looking better today.....

bchgirl · 06-09-2010, 05:38 AM

Just seeing this...quickly read the news and looked for an update. As much as I hate to say...I'm glad it's LP...I'm glad. Prayers for Pixie and hope she's doing better soon!

Darlene68 · 06-09-2010, 05:38 AM

Just checking to see how little Pixie is doing today, I hope she is much better!.

Connie · 06-09-2010, 06:17 AM

I got an email from Patti. She said Pixie was pretty quiet all night, but trying to move around a bit. I'm sure it's chaotic at her house right now with painters there and all furniture and belongings moved out of place. It's stressful enough, but with poor Pixie's problems, it's just so hard on Patti. Please pray for both she and Pixie.

BonBon · 06-09-2010, 06:30 AM

Thank you for keeping us updated, Connie. If you talk to Patti again, please let her know we're thinking of her and Pixie.
