Dog weak.....

[linda giorgi]

Having a a very bad day today. Morgan my four month old ALD was in the vet office all day and I still do not know what is wrong with her and they charged me $1000, Last night we went to bed as normal. She goes to sleep with us hand them in the middle of the night I put her in her bed next to mine. She was fine. I got up at 6am and she usually wants to follow me downstairts. She just laid still. I talked to her and she went back to sleep. I kept checking her and finally I told my husband I think she is sick. We carried her outside to make. She was very weak. She did nake sis and PoopieThen she layed down. We had to carry her into the house. Called the vet. Away for the weekend. They left a number to call. We did . We had to take her to the emergency hospital. I did notice her legs looked a little stiff. They said she must have hip dyspepsia.They said they needed xrays. We said yes. By we questioned ...why is she so weak? Could tell us yet. After an hour they called us in and said no hip dyspepsia. running blood test. We said ok? When they called us in again they said she might have broke her leg. I said what do you mean you said the exray was normal. They pulled up the exray again and said see thisx line it could be a brake. We need to send it to a radiologist for $75 dollars more but can not get the answer until tomorrow. But we coulde pay an exytra $85 TO FIND OUT in an hour.......Back to blood test they said all normal. When I started questioning why they did they tell us normal xray and twenty minutes later change their minds? It was the same xray. To make a long story short they said they doubt she has a broken leg from looking at the xray a third time. There is still no diagnosis and they sent us home with pain pills and antibiotics. I don't know what to do. I am going to bring her to my vet on Tuesday when she returns. Oh I forgot. They said she has a fever. I am so confused. One Thousand dollars and no answers. Sorry for this long post.

That's encouraging news. What is HOD?

Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy

Wow, what a horrible disease! Thanks, Karen.

Linda, do you live in an area where there could be ticks?  Murphy had a tick bourne illness that caused similar symptoms.  It was diagnosed through his blood work.  Hoping he's feeling better soon.

Keep us updated Linda.  It appears the vets are still not sure what is causing this.  Hang in there.

Thinking about you and Morgan and hoping for the best.  Will keep paws crossed.

Update on Morgan,
I had surgery on Monday so I was limited on my typing. Carpel Tunnel Surgery. Morgan's final diagnosis was HOD. She is doing a lot better. Next week the vet said we will start to taper her off the prednisone. She has no more parasites. Her poopy is getting harder. I give her probiotics and yogurt. My home cooking has been cut more than in half. Mostly Acana Duck and Pears. Soon maybe we can go on a little trip with her. Things are starting to look up. Thank you everyone who supported Morgan and I. I appreciated hearing all your good thoughts and ideas. I know there is doodle romp tomorrow but it would not be fair to Morgan if she is still limited on her exercise. Thanks again.
