Ellie could use your thoughts and prayers - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Crystal, you don't even know what this is. Personally, I think you need to go to the neuro to at least find out. If your vet likes two of the three, I would be going to one of them to at least get an opinion. A blanket statement saying you are not doing surgery...I am not sure where that is coming from. You don't even have a diagnosis nor do you know if/what surgery would be recommended. Maybe it is something simple? Maybe there is an option? I will keep your baby in my thoughts and prayers and also you.

Agree with KJC .. not sure how you could possible give a pill to her with her neck in that kind of discomfort.

Surely there are other options for meds for her.

Were there any X-rays done?

How old is she?

Gabapentin can be compounded for Shelby is 4 lbs dont remember dosage, its usually one pharmacy in area that can do it overnite, Ultram tiny pill amt 1/4 tablet of 25 mg given with just a bit of soft canned Science AD, we fed through a syringe that helped. Steroids Prednisone reduce inflammation, and pepcid-nexium to reduce her Hydrocephalus, but also to protect her stomach.

Shelby innocently slipped off the couch went into seizure quad paralysis, at ER we had xrays confirm AAI- Atlanto Axial Instability.

I dont know your girl just going on some symptoms here, but from the bottom of my heart see a neurologist, we are in upper Ohio, we used Metropolitan Animal Hosp their neuro dept with Dr Todd Axlund you can see his credential, published, teaches, he was our savior.

Please let me know if there is any thing else I could help you with?

Never mind I see by your post back in April/May this is a on going issue with her? Lumbar/sacrum area, and she has been on Tramadol for treatment. I see she is older also? couldnt gage the age, but I believe she would benefit from a consult with a neurologist.

Praying for good news tomorrow.

LuvTaycieGirl · 12-17-2011, 10:44 PM

Crystal, I am so sorry! Prayers for you and your sweet girl. My heart breaks for you.

Sending prayers for your Ellie.

yorkiegirl2 · 12-17-2011, 11:14 PM

Poor baby !!
I hope they can figure out what is going on and she is on the mend soon.

Lisa and Pic · 12-18-2011, 03:38 AM

Prayers for you both and I am so very sorry.

megansmomma · 12-18-2011, 05:06 AM

Crystal, I hope you are able to find some answers as to the exact cause of her pain. I feel so bad that she is not able to find relief from her pain as well. I'll be sure to check back to see how things are going.

gidget529 · 12-18-2011, 06:13 AM

Just checking in this morning. I'm sure you didn't get much rest last night. Hoping both of you are ok.

ladyjane · 12-18-2011, 06:20 AM

Hoping today is a brighter one for Ellie and Crystal.

Crystal told me that Ellie May is improved this morning. She even guarded her food from Ry. I'm sure Crystal will be by later to update in more detail.
