Loss of Back Legs - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

joyce evans · 07-15-2014, 09:23 AM

I have seen reactions like this to flea meds and flea collars. My sister once rescued a kitten off the street and someone had put a flea collar on it. The kitten was too young for a collar and was having a very bad reaction when they found it. I'm just throwing this out there...If you are unsure of any meds. that this pup might have been on before you brought him home then please be careful. I would wait 30 days from the day you got him to give flea or heartworm unless you really know when he last had it.

WOW, that is good news! You say he is still a bit wobbly so keep an eye on him. What did the vet say if you called him? Praying he is going to be OK now and that it was just a reaction to the meds. :-))

Glad to hear Lincoln is doing so much better! I am sorry to hear about your dear Mom's passing. Good you have Lincoln with you!

shelbysmom · 07-15-2014, 09:53 AM

Do a google search of all of the possible side effects that his meds can cause. Side effects are rare but they do happen. It could even be a reaction to prednisone.

Glad he is doing better, continued healing Lincoln!

Wow, that made my day to read this!

AWESOME!!! I'm so thrilled for you both

! Go Lincoln!

Oh what wonderful news

so happy for little Lincoln and you.

I'm so thrilled to read that Lincoln is doing better. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mom. I lost my mom when I was close to twenty, and it still hurts without her at the age of fifty eight. Despite losing her so early, my mom's love has helped to guide and sustain me, and her love is still a very powerful force in my life.

I hope you stick around YT. We care are are here to help.

First, I want to say...I'm am terribly sorry for the loss of your mother. My mother is battling cancer and it fear for this every day. My thoughts are truly with you.

Second, so glad to hear some positive news on Lincoln. I hope he continues in a good direction. It is some must needed relief, I'm sure. My best to you

So happy to read Lincoln is on the mend. Please keep us up dated. YT prayers helped again.

Clazziquai · 07-16-2014, 08:20 AM

He's going back to the vets on Friday once I get paid to get a check up and make sure he's all better (that and we need to fix this ear infection still but with something safer!)

sandy simpson · 07-16-2014, 08:30 AM

Prayers for this dog. He could be having a reaction to the meds. I would definitely be running to the vet with him. Yorkies can go downhill very fast and I would not wait.

GracieJane · 07-16-2014, 08:31 AM

Wow! What a saga! First, I am so sorry to hear that you have recently lost your mom. It is incredibly sad to lose one's parents--makes one feel like an orphan regardless of age. You are a good child to try to take on Lincoln, and I am extremely glad to hear that things are looking better for him. I hope that you can get him healthy and enjoy comforting each other in the months ahead.

matese · 07-16-2014, 02:43 PM

Such promising news. Keeping lil Lincoln in my prayers, you as well. Thanks for the up-date.
