This must be so difficult to deal with. I can't imagine. I haven't read thru the whole thread, but am also wondering what's so bad about getting a simple x-ray? It would have been the FIRST thing if it were my dog. Regardless if some were telling me it wasn't necessary, if I had been waiting this many days and NOTHING had changed, I'd be questioning too and I don't see anything wrong with that. You are your dogs best advocate and it sounds like you are doing everything that you can for your baby! I'll be praying for you.

PS - I am also curious about lymes - were simple tests like lymes, etc, run? (forgive me, if I missed this). I know this is totally different, but Jackson came up limping bad one day, and had his back leg completely stiff and sticking out - never put it down on the ground, and they x-rayed and found nothing wrong with hips or patellas, so they did a lyme test, came up positive and the problem was fixed and he was walking again a day later (30 days of antibiotics, and 5 days of pain meds).

They are checking for 6 toxins (titers) and they are expected back any moment now. I hope this afternoon's phone call has the results since I didn't get one this morning (I had to work). I have thought of Lyme and someone mentioned vaccines (rabies specifically), which I hate with a passion. My pupkins just got their vaccines 2 weeks ago but I made the vet do titers last year so we got to avoid them completely. I don't even like vaccines in humans and I never get them, personally. I have Dysautonomia so I must be careful with them. Good news is the vet suspects autoimmune or infectioous agents.

Thanks so much for your input!

prayers for Cali...and for you too. I hope you find out what is wrong with her. Hugs to you...

I am so anxious waiting for your updates! I hope all is well and improvement is in sight. I'm thinking of Cali and hoping this is better soon. TEAM CALI!!!

Pink Dog · 03-08-2012, 07:22 PM

UPDATE: Just spoke with Katelyn. I've got good news (I think)...she said Cali's hind leg rigidity is less. Although it is still there, she is moving them on her own or at least trying to and trying to stand up, even though she's unsuccessful (at this point). MY BABY HASN'T GIVEN UP!!! I told her before I left on Sunday that she had to fight and get better for mommy. She knows! Anyway, I can't wait to see her tomorrow!! Katelyn also said when the new crew comes in to ICU they all fight over who is going to hold her. Ya'll know how precious our Yorkie babies are....who can resist them? Anyway, she also said she got a verbal preliminary report from the toxin titers and they were negative. Nothing is official but verbally the lab reported negative. Not sure if this is good or bad but I just pray Cali continues to improve. ALL of YOUR prayers are working....thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Please keep them coming. I'll update as soon as I can.

God bless all of you!

Prayers for Cali and so glad you are going to be able to see her today.

Keeping the prayers going for your baby...

Just curious... what vaccines did she get 2 weeks (now 3 weeks) ago?

Mom to Hot Rod · 03-09-2012, 04:25 AM

Wow, just read thru this thread. We're adding our prayers for you and Cali. Cali is very lucky to have such wonderful parents. I can see why the staff fights over who is going to hold her, she is a doll baby. Sending big hugs to you all.

deeda9999 · 03-09-2012, 05:09 AM

So glad to hear about the improvement. I having been praying for her everyday. She is lucky to have you.

roseslevi · 03-09-2012, 05:38 AM

Happy to hear she is improving.

Susan78 · 03-09-2012, 06:11 AM

I had to get on YT this morning to see how Cali is doing and I am praying she has a full recovery. Susan
