| Shinja...I am so sorry to hear this news of Bailey in pain. My daughter's yorkie had a ruptured disc and did go paralyzed in his back legs, but he came out of it and started walking again. It was a long ordeal and we had to keep him in a cat crate, but he got through it and we were so thankful. I'll say a prayer for Bailey and for you! *HUG*

What worked for us was car rides! He love going for a ride, even if we didn't have a walk at the end of the ride. He was out of his crate at home, and in a crate in the car; but at least he got some air blowing in his face, and a different environment. I also have a ramp for our van, that I make him use, to enter and exit the car. Although with your Bailey you could probably pick him up I guess? Does Bailey like massage? That is helpful too. Just gentle touch, it is soothing. Also some energy work can be very relaxing as well. You can start with your dog relaxing on the floor. Gently place your hand over their sacrum(the bone between their two buttocks), and other hand at the nape of their neck. Hold until you feel a lovely warmth develop, then remove your hands, about two inches away from body, and stroke from head to tail. You are literally just stroking the air right above their body. I'll keep my fingers crossed until we find out what the specialist has to say. Hugs to you and kisses to Bailey -

thank you all for sharing and your advice. I think I have a hard time just putting it into perspective... I was so very afraid he was going to die.

| Did you apply for Care Credit today? They will give you enough credit to pay for Bailey's surgery or whatever he may need

I should add.... Lisa did keep me calm for the first few days but then she had the NERVE to go home I think I "freaked" when the Vet said he would be paralized if one of the dish ruptured.. but seamed to be calm about Bailey. Lisa.. I checked into care credit. When I get the final "cost" I will see if it is better to just pay for it or use credit. Credit vs going into emergency fund (remember ... with other things in my life emergency fund is very important!!) It may be no vacation and some home improvements put off which is fine I should receive his new harness tomorrow and maybe try very short walks (advice from the vet) .. he wants to observe how well he is healing on his own so Im thinking it is serious but not criticial (this after talking to him yesterday). He did not get pain meds yesterday and did very very well.
