Princess screaming in pain at night after spay surgery, help! - Page 8 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I think another opinion at UC Davis is absolutely a good idea! You are being very thorough and careful and Chloe is so lucky to have you! I am just so sorry that you have to deal with so much.
I will keep her and you in my thoughts and prayers.

Baby Princess · 03-21-2011, 08:03 PM

Thank you so much for your reply and comment! We love her sooooooo much, she's been a blessing to us. We know that God place her in our hand for us to do all we can do for her.

The estimated cost for the surgery is ove $6,000 and we'll be calling the breeder to see how much he can contribute to this. In the meantime, thank God for credit cards, we will be looking into Care Credit tonight to see if we qualify.

Thank you for your concern and prayers.

Receive from Princess Chloe many kisses/licks and from me my gratitude for your concern.

Does that include an MRI? Sounds very high for just the surgery. Perhaps UC Davis might be less.
You all are wonderful for taking care of her. I certainly hope the breeder comes through without you having to fight for it.

Poor baby girl. I think I would deff go to UC Davis as they do have all equipment on site and only 20 surgeries would make me a bit nervous as well. If you are going for a second opinion at UC Davis you really need to do it ASAP and keep her crated until then. As others have said she needs to be treated as a very fragile china doll. Also you mentioned the Dr said she may need to wear a collar ? if the Dr says she needs it then you Have to find a way to make it work. I don't know if a collar is the norm but I would see what they say at UC Davis. It is very important to follow ALL the Dr's instructions though if you want a good outcome. I will be praying for her & you.

I just read through this entire thread, and I am so sorry that your little Princess Chloe is going through this. You and your husband are angels, know that I am saying prayers for all of you. God Bless and God speed...

Baby Princess · 03-21-2011, 09:00 PM

Thank you for your replies, concern and prayers!

Definitely we will follow the doctors advise, I have a stiff collar that was given to me by the SPCA when she was spayed two weeks ago. She hated it and was trashing her head every way possible trying to get it off. I just think that right now it would only make her condition worse, I would rather sit up with her in my arms all night with the tower folded under her head so she can sleep than see her trying to get the collar off.

I'm paying that God will give me wisdom to make the right decision!!!!

I am sure the surgeon was referring to a different type of collar. What they gave you after the spay surgery was to keep her from licking her suture line. After her neck surgery, she may have to wear a brace to keep her neck in line.

Baby Princess · 03-21-2011, 09:29 PM

Thank you for your prayers, concern and reply!

I specifically asked him about a collar and he only referred to a post collar, he didn't give me any option as to a collar for right now! This is when I started to think I needed to contact UC Davis. I think he was more focused on doing the surgery right away, than giving usd the time to analize our options. This is 60% not 100% separation, and he hasn't sent us his report as of yet.

I don't know but something doesn't feel right!

He charges $180 per hour for consultation, and he didn't send her home with some sort of brace to support her neck??? We were supposed to receive an alternate pain medication prescription emailed, and up to this writting we haven't received it.

I've folded a tower to support her neck when she's in my arms, I would have expected him to suggest a support or something? Am I being unreasonable???

Pls pray that I can get an appointment tomorrow with UC Davis, I really don't want to waste any time!

Princess Chloe sends you kisses/licks, and I send you my gratitude for your concern. Naomi

I will pray that you get an appt . Maybe if you call 1st thing in the A.M. they can get you in tomorrow or wed. I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. I know others have had casts on their pups and maybe that's what the Dr was talking about ? IDK but I'm with you that I would NOT be putting a cone collar or anything else on her neck that was not done by a specialist. Also wanted to add that she could be having a vision problem from fluid build up in her brain from the AAI and if this is what is going on it should resolve once her neck is fixed. I am pleased to hear you are calling UC Davis , I am wondering what kind of a neurologist doesn't have the means to do an MRI ?

yorkietalkjilly · 03-22-2011, 12:12 AM

Couldn't sleep so got up to sit up awhile and just saw your update. I was so sorry to read your neurologist's report and that your baby is so very sick. My heart goes out to you as you and your husband assess the situation and try to make some hard decisions for your little darling. Just know that your little family is in my prayers as you go through this terrible time. I am truly so sorry.

I agree with Ladyjane. And Chloe is very a lucky little girl to have you in her life.

I'm so sorry all of you are having to go through this. Princess Chloe will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs to you all,
