We took Moe in to the vets today(AGAIN) and this time they agreed with us he needs x rays and blood works...FINALLY ...I am now sitting here after dropping him off, they said they will call for me to come get him, or let me know if they are keeping him i. The vet today was a young lady , who seemed to me to know what she was doing....she did a few physical tests on him and is also concerned that it may in fact not be his internals, but rather his spine! There is the chance that when he and Pippy made thier great escape from the safe area that he fell down stairs, as they both get very rambunctious on the stairs( always fighting for who's first one down them) So hopefully today we will know whats what, or at least have a generl direction to take.I am so sad without him here next to me..he is never not here next to me...hubby calls him my little shadow......it's quite true as well.There have been times that I literrally have been looking and calling for him and he is actually that close behind me I just havn't seen him, LOL hubby finds it quite funny when I do this.Anyways ...were now playing the waiting game, so thought I'd let everyone know.

poor Moe ! I think he needs xrays too and will be praying for him - it sounds like he's really in pain and I know that has to be breaking your heart..

sending GET WELL WISHES and please keep us updated ....I hope you get to the bottom of what's causing this

[Hokule'a]

Oh good, am so glad you were able to get a vet who is willing to run the necessary tests to get to the bottom of all of this. Prayers going out for both you and Moe!

[Yorkiekids]

I'd find another vet somewhere. There has to be another one that will take payments, ares does. Best wishes.

[dezertblu]

well the vets run barium through him xrayed him physical examed him, so far no signs of what where or why...his situations a complete mystery to them. They are keeping him in overnight now and will be observing him to try and see anything they may have missed in the tests. this is really worrying me now...since there is no resason they can find for it all.

Poor little guy

[LunasMomma]

Sounds like it's time for a new vet to me. And just because he pooped doesn't mean that something couldn't be stuck in his digestive system. I lost my Starr to this, along with a stupid vet Please get a second opinion immediately.

I hope Moe is much better very soon

[RoxyJosMom]

Aww, poor little Moe. I'll be praying that the vet can figure out what is wrong very soon and take care of it. No matter what a person's finances will or will not allow, a vet should NEVER deprive a baby of quality care. It sounds like maybe this lady vet is more compassionate than the first one was. Hopefully, Moe will be feelling better soon. Hugs to your little guy, and to you, too. I'm sorry you have to go thru this.

[Dudley's Mom]

I know how you feel. I went through hell trying to find out what was wrong with Dudley. It seems like it took forever to find my answer, but Dudley is now doing well and I am paying off my credit cards. Please hang in there and insist they find what is wrong. I will be praying for you both.

[Rudys Mom]

I'm so glad you took Moe back to the vets. I hope with keeping him overnight they can find what's wrong with him. Poor Moe, Hang in there, I know this is hard on you as well. Please post tomorrow after you pick him up from the vets.

[Connie]

I'm so sorry to hear about little Moe and I'll say a prayer. The unknown is always so scary. Is it possible he did hurt his back and now has a pinched nerve? Would that show up on tests? I hope that you get some answers tomorrow. Poor little sweetie. Hugs to you!

Im keeping little Moe in my prayers.
I feel so bad for him and for you, I know how you feel When Mickey was ill and had Bladder stones I kept taking him back to the vet , While he kept playing the guessing game and I kept telling him to take blood, do xrays and he would put it off, My little one suffered over a month, I learned I had to be the one to say hey do this and do that . they finally did but after many visits, If they would of listened to what I was saying in the first place It would of saved us so much money and saved my baby from so much suffering. and from so much reading and advice from YT members and another forum I knew it was stones. Ill always check YT first them make sure our vet do what I want done on the first visit from now on. I wish you luck with your vet and I hope they find the problem with Moe so he can getter better fast.

The X Rays and Barium showed his system is free of any blockages or foreign bodies, The vets have sent him home with us today, from the blood tests( which they werent going to run until I told them to) they have decided LiL Moe has been Poisoned, not as in household items poisoned, as in someone out in the general public has poisoned my dog.We keep all house cleaning products high and out of all pet reach, we have no gardening type stuff, such as fertilizer ect, any mechanics stuff is locked away and out of reach, there is simply nothing poisonous or toxic within access to pets in our home, this is a very strictly followed rule of our home.....yes sponges, or cloths if in the laundry basket are reachable, and yes general household items a dog could chew up are rechable.....but nothing toxic. When the vet said poisoning we reflected back, Friday both Moe and Pippy threw up...I thought nothing of it at the time as they are always eating grass which in turn makes them throw up.....so I simply thought this was the same.Saturday both dogs seemed ok, though Moe did seem a bit quiet.....I simply thought he was in a strop with me about leaving him.The vet says the organs all are functioning properly, though his liver tested high..whatever that means, but deffinately NOT LIVER SHUNT...and that there is no reason he wont eventually be fine in himself, though we wont know till later how much of the nerve damage to the muscles is permanenet. This nerve damage is whats causing his back end to keep dropping....and so I really hope this aspect of it goes as he will never be the same if he cant run and play properly.....he is still feeling poorly and still has tummy pain, but they say this will pass with time....so really our only major concern is the back end dropping out from under him when he trys to stand or walk.I also have taken a look back and realized its not his 3rd birthday it's his second birthday...it seemed to me like we have had him longer....but guess I was wrong.....So this is for Moe...HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Birthday little Moe... get better soon.
