Time for another vet trip

[big4life]

I woke up this morning to find one of my little dogs sick, and she hurt her back trying to throw up. Now she can't walk without stumbling, so it's time for another cortisone shot in her back. The poor thing is laying on the couch shaking because she's so scared.

Here's a picture of little bear in better times.

poor thing

She's only 3 years old. This has happened once before, and my vet told me that some dogs are just prone to this type of back problem, especially if they jump around a lot, which little bear does. As long as she doesn't damage a disk she should be ok. If she does, she will need surgery.

eh thats good then. the thought of an old faithful playful dog, in pain, about to die, rather upsets me. take notes FZ

I agree ... I'll delete that post.

Make her a ramp so she stops jumping

I just picked her up, and she's doing a lot better. They gave her a shot and some pills to help with the soreness.

The first thing that she did when she got home was jump on the couch to nuzzle Molly, my other dog.

I'm glad she's doing better!
