Prayers for my dog
« on: August 16, 2010, 08:13:00 AM »
A hurting dog doesn't compare to other issues here but I'd ask for prayer for our dachshund. She suddenly came up lame in her rear legs and has to drag herself around. This has really had an affect on my wife who has ms and struggles with walking herself. Maxine will be taking the dog to the vet as soon as they can get Abby in so we'll find out what the prognosis is.
Thanks

Christ has told us to be careful of nothing.  In context it means that whatever we are dealing with to talk to Him about it and ask His help because he loves us.

That is very, very common with dachshunds. Because of their conformation, they have a lot of intervertebral disc problems. Some can be fixed with steroids and confinement...others require surgery...and some cannot be fixed. My prayers are with you. I lost my 16 year old lab yesterday, and she was the best dog I've ever known.

blessings,

Andy

Just received a call from my wife and Abby met her at the door then walked out a bit wobbly to go to the bathroom. Thanks for the prayers as it looks like she is healing well. We are trying to keep her from walking too much so she doesn't aggravate the problem.

Keep her from running and jumping as much as possible. Did she get any sort of anti-inflammatory drugs?

Andy thanks for your info. They gave her a heavier dose of steroids for a longer period. She also gets something for her stomach when she takes the steroid as well as some pain medication. We have limited her access outside to when we are with her to keep her inline. We also make sure she doesn't try to stand on her hind legs which I've caught her trying to do. She keeps improving so we're making sure she doesn't over do it. One problem is her appetite has increased with the steroid and we want to be sure she doesn't gain weight.

Steroids are the most powerful anti-inflammatories, but they do have some untoward side effects. The stomach meds are to keep her stomach & intestinal linings from ulcerating. Sounds like your vet has covered all the bases. Let us know when to stop praying!

Abby has my wife wrapped around her paw. My wife acts tough but she is Abby's health plan so you could say Abby's plan is better.    :biglaugh:

I was thinking of Abby last night as I euthanized a dog that had lost the use of her back legs.  I hope she (Abby) is doing better!

Andy I so appreciate your concern and prayers. Abby is doing well. She is now gaining her strength back in her legs so she doesn't wobble much when she walks. She does start to weaken after walking for a while. But we are trying to keep her from overdoing it.
