Some of ya'll may remember Mutt
Around 9:30 last night Mutt was running with her toy and immediately stopped
coming to us in the bedroom. She had lost the ability to walk on her back leg. It's not flimsy or useless, but she is holding it up and hobbling. I'm a wreck. I've been up crying all night since then. This is not good. She's nine and been in my life since her very first hour of breath. At 10 she was somewhat still bouncy and excited to go "OUTSIDE". Her favorite word. She gobbled turkey slices. Now she's just blah. Some people think it's just a dog but in the last year especially she's been at my side constantly or at my feet if I'm in a chair. And it's so close to Christmas, and so hard for us still. I'm scared to take her to the vet and hear what they have to say but I'm more scared not to. I'm lost though about what to do. We're switching vets, I hate the staff at our current but this vet knows Mutt and has proven he can take good care of her. I don't trust the staff though and she's too valuable to put into another vet's unproven hands. Grace terrified |

And before anybody says I should have taken her to a vet... Try to *get* a
vet in their office after 7pm around here... *sighs* We put in three phone calls to three vets and only got one return and it was a blow-off. Grace "Gracecat" wrote in message ...

FWIW I think I would take her to her old vet just because she knows him and she won't be as frightened. We're purring really, really hard that this will be something that can be fixed or lived with.

Purrs for Mutt. Nine is pretty up there for a d*ggy. I hope that you have
luck with the new vet. "Gracecat" wrote in message ... Around 9:30 last night Mutt was running with her toy and immediately stopped coming to us in the bedroom.

FWIW, I'd use the vet that she is most familiar with who has proven he can look after her. Just stay on top of the staff. Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
