-Something is wrong with Lexi!!!- HELP!

[Lexi_Lover]

Ok, it sounds like the exact sane thing that happened to Kiara! :( Lexi is bending her tail in wrong places and chasing it too much. Everytime she sits, she yelps and runs away! It has been causing her so much pain!

I never thought this would happen to Lexi! :( I am also in tears! Her yelp is so high-pitched and scary! :( Does anybody think it could be the same thing?

Its also hooked at the end, which isn't normal, and she is carrying it high(not tucked) and it hurts her. She doesn't bite her tail when she chases it so I don't know what it could be. I tried giving light pressure to figure out and she tries to bite me when I squeeze what must be a tender area.

Please help us out! I am scared! :(

Prayers on the way for poor Lexi... sounds like she is in a great deal of pain! :(

Its 10:33 p.m! :(

[LuvGold00]

Call anyway, they may have an answering service for such emergencies! And if not, call another vet!

Sending TONS of good thoughts to Lexi !!!!!!

[flamepony12]

is she acting like it is REALLY, seriously hurting her?

If it is, then Usually you can page the main vet, and they will get back to you right away. When Baybi ate pointsettia, I called the vet and they were closed. But they said on the message, "If this is an emergency, please page the main vet at ------" (--- representing the #s) After I paged the vet they called me right back and told me what to do!

Good luck! :(

[luvofallhorses]

Call them!!! That is what they are there for :) feel better soon Lexi:([

[Lexi_Lover]

Well its 11:35 p.m now. She is sleeping, so I can't check her tail. All I can say, is that I will be having one rough sleep tonight! :(

Thanks everybody!

[kimlovescats]

Sending prayers for Lexi!!!:(

[Daisy and Delilah]

Daisy and Delilah:)

Emergency Vets are open during the hours that normal vets are closed. Check the phone book for emergency vet phone numbers.

[Lexi_Lover]

I woke up this morning and it was the usual routine. Hyper, crazy, happy puppy. But when I sat down, she went back to chasing and yelping. I think that in the morning she wasn't concentrating on her pain.

I am crying again right now, it hurts me to see her in so much pain! I am calling the vet, my mom said its just a tail, I can't believe that! :(

Again, thank you everybody, keep those prayers coming! :( And more advice to maybe keep her tail supported would help too!

[KYS]

Sending get well wishes for Lexi.
Keep us posted.

[luvofallhorses]

Sending more prayers your way. Poor Lexi. :( Please keep us updated..I hope she is alright.

[Lexi_Lover]

Well, she seems to be doing better, but she's biting more then ever. So I don't knwo if that better or worse. If it starts to get really bad, we are going in for emergency, so far, we just got off the phone with the vet. He said it sounds like it could be a sprained tail(like Kiara) and just to make sure she isn't hurt anymore. Playing doesn't really matter for her because she can't have toys anyways.

But he said, is shes biting me and she never does, then its probably broken, and he said, it could hurt her for carrying her tail high, but she may still be trying to provoke dominance even if it hurts.

Please, please help us out! I am now in tears once again, and I can't imagine anything else happening to her! :(

[Daisy and Delilah]

AWWWW!! Poor little Lexi girl!! We are praying for her swift recovery and Mom's too. Thank goodness for PT. Without it, I would never have known these babies tails could break or sprain so readily. I keep a closer watch on the girls now in case I see something that could put them in danger. Who would ever have thought that this could be pretty common? Hugs and kisses for little dollface Lexi!! We are keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers!! Please keep us posted.

Love, Daisy, and Delilah :)

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

OH NO!!!!! Not Lexi!!!!!:(:(:( I sure hope she's ok! Keep us posted Paula...and prayers are coming full blast!!:( I sure hope she's ok, and get her to the vet ASAP!!

[luvofallhorses]

If she is hurt, like you describe, Please, please get her to a vet asap, better safe than to be sorry:)

[Lexi_Lover]

I was holding Lexi earlier, and my cousins went to go pet her and I guess they must have been pulling her tail or touching it or something, because she growled at them when they went to go touch her. But when I asked her what the matter was, she pinned her ears back and growled at me, so I don't know if I was touching her tail or not. She was wagging it an awful lot earlier. Jeez...shes going in tomorrow. :(

[Lexi_Lover]

We just got back from the vet. My poor little girl. She tucked her tail as soon as she walked in. And I had to carry her. She was in SO much pain this morning, she couldn't sit or do anything!

The diagnosis, her tail is broken. He only wrapped it up in a gauze-type of material. But it hardens to keep her tail supported. There is also a long stick like things underneath her tail. She isn't feeling well, so it was hard to take pictures! :(

Here is my poor girl's face(I guess you can tell shes in pain). :(

And my poor little girl's tail. And the break is near the base. :(

She can't play AT ALL, and we have to keep her confined to a small area now because when people walk in, shes goes all crazy and nuts. My poor baby! :(

Please, keep sending prayers! :(

[flamepony12]

Awwwww, poor Lexi! Prayers on the way for a quick recovery! :(

[luvofallhorses]

Oh Paula, how horrible for you to go through this. :(:(:( Many hugs and prayers on the way. Get well soon Lexi.

[Lexi_Lover]

Thanks you 2. I just needed to know that somebody other then me was thinking of Lexi! :(

[rizzy]

Oh, poor baby! I will definately keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated. I hope it heals really fast.
--prayers on the way--

[vinjashira]

Poor Lexi :( Get well soon!

[petslover]

Even with a Broken Tail, Lexi still loves adorable. She is one lovely dog. I really hope she gets feeling better very soon.

[PJ's Mom]

Poor Lexi!

I told Peej that Lexi had a boo boo tail so he's crossing his paws for her quick recovery. :)

[Daisy and Delilah]

Get well soon little Lexi!!!!! We can only imagine what you're going through little girl. OUCH!!!! Prayers coming your way sweetie!!:)

Love, Daisy and Delilah:)

[Lexi_Lover]

Thank you everybody. Lexi seems to be doing a LITTLE better, she wants to play, she'll grab my pant leg once in a while but drop it right away. She doesn't knwo whats going on. :(

[Lexi_Lover]

Thats all! Sorry, no captions! To lazy:p

[PJ's Mom]

It's always a good sign when they want to play. ;)

[Lexi_Lover]

And heres the 2 pics I kinda revised to show you where its broken. :(

The Break #1:

[Lexi_Lover]

The Break #2:

(I guess the swelling went down:p)

[Dixieland Dancer]

Poor Lexi. :( Hope your better soon. Any idea how it might of gotten broken?

[Lexi_Lover]

Not that I can think of at the moment. She may have bunped it on the big rock outside, but she gets into A LOT of things when I'm not looking, or anybody for that matter. She could have jumped off the couch and hit it for all I know.

Thanks for your concern! :)

[Samantha Puppy]

Feel better soon, Lexi! Listen to your mom and stay quiet - you'll feel better sooner!

Big thoughts from me and tail wags from Samantha, comin' your way!

[jesse_3]

That is great that she wanted to play! It is also great that the swelling went down. When we were waiting for Jesse to recover from her injury, it was so hard to watch her be bored and want to play! I hope Lexi gets better soon!
- -prayers comming in- -

[chocolatepuppy]

Get well soon Lexi! :)

[Lexi_Lover]

Thanks everybody! She seems to be doing a bit better I guess! :p She wants to play a lot, so I took her on a walk earlier. She tried to tuck her tail the whole way! :( My poor baby!

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Oh, Lexi!! I wonder how you broke your tail??:confused: Please get well soon!! Prayers are on the way!!!:(
