It is never a good day if your dog is not happy.
She is not happy.
I thought she was a goner.
She didn't stand, eat or drink for over 36 hours, so I gave her 200CCs of sub-Q fluids, etc.
I wasn't sure if it would help, but that's what I do when in doubt.
You newbies better keep that in mind if you see me in person.
Vet X-Rays say at least 2 bad blown disks.
One just above the pelvis. The other about the lower rib cage.
Vet guesses there is, or could be, a 3rd, nearer her skull.
She never thought much about jumping really high.
The worst is the area near the lower ribs. It happened a while ago, but is healing.
The damaged area at the pelvis is old, but very sore. We knew it often caused her pain, but never understood why.
She is on muscle relaxers and steroids. No kidding.
And she can walk "outside" or to food and water again.
No sleep lately, but at least the dog ain't spoiled with pillows, flannel, Christmas raw hides, toys, and "special treats" that look like raw meat.
Her eyes are open, though she couldn't lift her head at the time.
