thetruecanon: I’m sorry, I have been a little absent. As I said before my dog Toddy have been not walking since his back legs are not moving. We took him today to the Vet, and situation is a little more delicated than it seems. :(( So I had to spend the day taking care of him. I love him a lot! He will always be my little baby, but he is already 12, the vet said that this is something common at his age, he have a severe disease in his spine and he is suffering a lot of pain. We do not know if is bone spur or herniated disc, what it is, since he needs to do a x-ray.But he have a neurological problem, a blood clot is stopping the movement in his legs and even in his front paws. It is due of maybe he making too much effort to jump (as everyone knows he used to sleep in my bed to make me company when I’m in pc, he always love to sleep there).So probably due all his life jumping in it, it caused his problem with his spine. That we hope with the meds will help him to get better. We didn’t made the x ray because is too expensive (250 reais), and at the moment we do not have it now, since we have to buy his meds now too.What makes me worried is that as the vet said if he do not get better and need surgery the surgery will be the price of 3k reais (570 dolars). But I feel worried that he is too old, and I feel worried that with surgery and general anesthesia can be dangerous to his heart.This is it, I just wanted to leave everyone updated. I’ll probably take a time to answer everyone. Since I’ll be taking care of him, (he is sleeping now). But I hope with the meds he can get better. I’ll share the photo and prescription here.Since he is in too much pain he will be taking a really strong medication. He was so courageous when he was in the vet.He have been breathing a little panting due the injections with the medication he took today to release the pain, he was drooling a lot so we put a towel to help him.I’ll try to be back posting and talking and keeping update in his state in the twitter. At the moment he is sleeping and calm, I was too worried those days and I’m taking some calmant to help me calm. I had trouble to explain to vet the situation because brain brr, but we go. Thank you everyone for the support. I forgot to update, but his situation is a lot better, he is still taking the medicine, and we are dealing better with his situation. He can walk a little and I think he won’t need the surgery, what matter is that at least he is seeming a lot better, he barks a lot! I’m grateful for everyone support I’m sorry I didn’t updated here before! -- source link
