Something's wrong with Kiara.. HELP! :(

Oh Kay and Kiara. I hope everything is ok. I'll be checking in later to see how the vet visit went.

Big hugs to you both....Robin

Oh Kay I'm just reading this now. I hope all goes well at the vets and it's just her anal glands like Amy said.
I'll check in a bit later and see how things went' so post as soon as you can.

Hope everything goes okay. Mercedes had to get her anal glands done before. I gaged it smels so much worse then you think LOL. Hope thats all it is. Kiara will be in my thoughts!

Oh...poor Ki! :( I hope she feels better soon. Please keep us updated when you come back from the vet! I hope they can figure out what it is.

Good boy Simba. You know that your little sister mustn't be feeling well!

Let us know how she is doing :) I hope she's better soon

Good luck at the vets. *hugs*

Kiara, hope you are feeling better soon sweetie.:) I'm going
to check back when you get home from the Vets.

Well, we're home.

Dr. Matthews said her anal glands are completely fine.
It's her tail. She either broke her tail at the base, or sprained it. How? I have absolutely NO clue, neither do they. We didn't want to spend the money on x-rays as Dr. Matthews said that either way, the treatment is the same.

I have absolutely no clue how it happened.. as she started showing pain while she was dead asleep! She was completely fine all day yesterday.

She got an injection of Rimadyl and 100mg tablets (4 pack) to take a half of a pill twice a day.. He wants us to call back Wednesday.

When they took her back he said that she made a horse pile of doo doo.. she was so scared. When they brought her back out to me, she wagged her tail as best as she could. :( :) Here come the tears again. :( I hope my poor girl gets better soon. She can't play ball at ALL until she's fully healed. No activity. No playing with the other mutts... and if she isn't healed in time, no playing with Nebo! :(

Please send thoughts her way.. she needs to heal fast so she can get back to playing. We're going to pick up all of the toys in the house to make sure she doesn't get any ideas. Poor baby.



Thank you all so much. :( :)

Awww, poor Kiara!! I wonder how it happened?? Well, at least you have an answer (there's nothing worse than going to a vet and having them not be able figure it out). Good luck keeping her calm... She'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

When does Nebo arrive?

Thanks Jaime.

Nebo arrives on the 21st.. exactly in one week.

Oh, poor Ki! I hope she feels better soon, and that it heals in time! :( Like SP said, at least you got a reason for her pain. I hope you heal soon Ki.

Kay, please keep us posted on her healing:)

Poor Princess:( Hope she recovers quickly!

(((HUGS)))

Here's my lil girl on the way home from the vets.

Oh, I forgot to tell you all.. She's not so lil anymore! She weighs 50 pounds and 2 ounces. :eek: Only 8 less than Nala! :eek: :eek:

Anyways, here's a picture. She's wet because it's POURING down rain outside. She finally got a few minutes of rest. I think the injection really made her feel a bit better.

Poor Kiara. I just read this thread right before you got back from the vets. Broke her tail, huh? I have never heard of that. did he indicate how long he thought it would take to heal? Does she need to go back to a follow-up visit?
Poor baby girl, she will definitely be in our thoughts and prayers.

Oh, Kay and Kiara, I am so so sorry! My heart goes out to you both. I truly understand your feelings right now, Kay. Having had to deal with Katie's injury I know how hard it is and how bad you feel. I promise you everything will be alright. The hardest part is going to be not letting her play and romp around AND you MUST do this. Don't ease up at all! We all want this girl better as soon as possible. She has to be able to play with Nebo and all of our furkids here in Ohio. Alright now, Kay, dry up those tears and focus on being mom now. Take good care of that girl. I just love her to death.

Love and hugs....Robin
