Well, here goes. This past weekend, into today has been HELL. My little Dachshund Hershey woke me up Saturday morning whimpering and shaking. We didnt know what the hell was wrong, so off to the vet. He was diagnosed with a back injury, given meds and told to have limited movement. By Sunday afternoon, it was getting worse. He had limited movement in his back legs. So back to the emergency vet we went. I had an emergency consult with a neuro surgeon today, and was told if he didnt have emergency back surgery, he would never walk again. His back half was completly paralyzed. So into surgery he went. 3 hours later, and 4000 dollars later, he comes out of surgery. Now comes the wait. The surgeon seems to think that he has a 90-95 percent chance that he will be able to walk again. We dropped him off at an overnight clinic, and will take him back in the am. They expect about 3 days before he will show any positive signs. Some people might think I'm crazy to go thru this. It's really not an option for me. I'm very attached. Hard to imagine how these little animals can get under your skin, and effect you in such drastic ways. So for all that know me, I may not be around for some time. Keep your fingers crossed. Thanks!
