He is still in the hospital, the xray showed his spine to be very nerow, all the blood work came back ok except he had alot of keystones in his urine, they gave him a shot of cortisone and they are keeping him another night, they told her that if the disc breaks and they dont get him to a vet for surgery with in 24 hrs he will be paralized for ever, I told her maybe she should get a second opion, he has been there for 3 days now, and he is still the same. keep praying please, he is only 3yrs old

I feel so bad for them

That poor little sweetheart. I will pray for his recovery.

I don't know a lot about broken backs, but yesterday I went with my daughter to take her yorkie to the vet. He was in pain and we didn't know why. It turns out he has a bad disc in his back and the vet said we have to be very careful with him and not let him jump or go up or down stairs. He said if the pushes on the bone around the spinal cord, it could break through and then he would be paralyzed. It is so scary. Kirby should be okay...just needs time to heal. I hope your friends dog is able to come out of whatever this is. Poor baby.

I beginng to think she needs a second opion, they let her bring shady home tonight, the vet said she is stummped? ok he has been there 4 days, now his left side is so swelled it almost touches the floor, Im thinking kidney problem, she said keystones and protein was in his urine, they are more concerned with this then his back at this point, all they gave her for meds was cortisone pills, anyone have any ideas? thanks guys. please keep praying for shady

That poor baby, Im keeping him in my prayers. I dont know why the vet would send him home like that. I would get another vet. If he has kedney stones he needs them removed or they can kill him. can he pee? I dont know about the back. but I hope thye take him in to be seen by another vet.

If there is a teaching vet around you (a University) that would be a good place to start. They are very thorough and are very up to date on procedures and issues. Im sorry he is going through such a bad time. I hope things start to turn around.

thanks for all who posted and prayed for shady, he is so much better

the cortisone shots worked and he is up and moving, they just have to be very careful with him as to running and jumping, but he is eating and drinking and much better, my friend thanks you all
