So glad you could see the vet so quickly.

Continuing to pray for Emma. I'll light a candle for her.

Also, I would check with the brother that is the accupuncturist. Can he do something now to relieve some pain?

Perhaps he can recommend a good vet accupuncturist if he feels this his beyond him.

I am so sorry that you are both out of work right now. I really wish I was in the position to offer some assistance - as I know vet bills & especially ER vet bills can be out of this world!

Prayers for all!

Iam so sorry for you:( You are all in my prayers, gosh i hope she will be ok, hate to see a baby in pain, its so heart breaking, hugs to you and emma.

I hope little Emma will recover from whatever this may be. Definitely check with your brother who does acupuncture as he most likely can help reduce her pain level. Poor baby, my heart goes out to her and you!!

problem
 

I am so happy to hear they gave her pain meds..soem of these surgeries are beyond the average pet lovers pocketbook..I wish I had a blank check..!

i am so very sorry. i was thinking cushing and when i went back to look it up, i was wrong with the diagnoses. it is actually the opposite. the stomach drags not an arched back. i hate it when i do this. again, i am very sorry.

Hi
 

He and welcome. Hope everything works out great with your baby!!

How is Emma today?

Continuing to pray for her healing.

Are there any updates on ths baby. I am very worried about her.

Oh I'm so sorry for your little one. I was hoping it was just a tummy ache.
The acupuncture might not be a bad idea. It certainly couldn't hurt to try.

HI Was just checking for updates on emma, Im worried for her:( praying for you emma.

I been very worried also, and wondering !

How awful Emma is in such pain. I can't imagine what your both going through.
Prayer's coming that the meds work for her and give her some pain free
time so she can get well again. Lying still in crate with med sin her hopefully
will heal her spine. Poor baby give her hugs from us.

I just wanted to know how she was doing today? I hope she is a little better.

I just read this thread...I am sorry little Emma is in such terrific pain. I hope the pain medication has relieved it some. I'll say a prayer that all is well...that she will recover from this. Please keep us updated when you can.

Labor Day Emma Update
 

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. EMMA IS NOT DOING AS WELL AS WE HAD HOPED. NATURALLY THE MEDS KNOCK HER OUT A BIT BUT SHE IS REFUSING ALL FOOD AND WATER. TRIED A FEW KINDS OF "SAFE" FOODS LIKE FRESHLY BOILED CHICKEN & EVEN TINY PIECES OF THINLY SLICED DELI SMOKED TURKEY BUT NO LUCK.

WILL TRY AND FORCE FEED HER WATER WITH SYRINGE BUT SHE IS JUST SO WEAK. WE ALSO HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD BLACK LAB & HE IS CAMPED OUT OUTSIDE EMMAS CRATE. THEY ARE BEST BUDDIES & SOUL PLAYMATES... I TELL YA IT'S A SCREAM TO WATCH THEM CHARGE AROUND THE BACKYARD.

ANYHOW... AT THIS POINT I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SHE IS STILL IN OBVIOUS PAIN, HATE TO KEEP HER IN THE CRATE BUT JUST HAVE TO DO THIS AS THE VET SAID IT IS MOST IMPORTANT AND HER OLNY CHANCE IF IT IS DISC / SPINAL RELATED.

YA KNOW...THEY (DOGS) HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY TO ME...AND IT JUST TEARS ME UP TO SEE HER IN SUCH PAIN. NECK AND BACK PAIN IS A HORRIBLE THING AND INESCAPEABLE... I'VE HAD IT AND TO KNOW THE PAIN AND SEE LITTLE EMMA SUFFERING SO BADLY ... WELL... YOU ALL KNOW... IT'S JUST HARD. THIS IS MY FIRST YORKIE AND I JUST LOVE HER TO PIECES, NEVER CONSIDERED MYSELF A "SMALLER DOG" GUY BUT EMMA STOLE MY HEART IMMEDIATLY.... WHEN SHE COMES OVER TO ME AND CURLS UP ON MY LAP, THE WORLD DISAPPEARS AND I AM REMINDED OF JUST HOW SPECIAL LIL' EMMA CAN MAKE ME FEEL. i'M 6' TALL AND 250 LBS AND A FAILRY TOUGH LOOKING GUY... BUT PUT HER IN MY ARMS AND I'M MUSH. ANYHOW... WILL FILL YOU ALL IN ON HER CONDITION TOMORROW. IF I HAVE TO I WILL GO TO THE CITY TOMORROW AND PAWN MY WATCH AND RING BECAUSE IF SHE DOES NOT TAKE FOOD AND WATER SHE'S GOING TO NEED AN IV SO SHE DOES NOT DEHYDRATE.... AND THAT TAKES $$. SPOKE WITH MY BROTHER THE ACCUPUNCTURIST AND HE SAID THAT UNTIL SHE EATS AND DRINKS SOMETHING HER BODY MIGHT NOT REACT TO KINDLY TO A SESSION. ONCE THE CORE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED & SHE BEGINS TO EAT AND DRINK, THEN HE CAN OFFER A SESSION FOR SOME PAIN RELIEF. SO, IT'S ANOTHER LONG NIGHT FOR US HERE. OH, BY THE WAY... I AM USUALLY A REALLY UPBEAT GUY AND A LOT OF FUN...BUT THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND A MOST CRITICAL TIME FOR EMMA. VERY SCARY FOR ME!
