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

Oh Kiara sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear about your poor little tail being hurt. I do hope it's only a sprain and will get better fast because I wouldn't want you to miss out on playing with Nebo and of course all our Ohio doggies:)So you make sure you rest that little tail of yours girl!

Kay I know how frusterating it can be not knowing what is wrong with them and then trying to keep calm, but I know you can do it!
I'll be thinking about your little girl and keeping her in my prayers that her tail heals soon.

Aww poor Kiara, i sure hope her tail heals soon , so she can play with her friends,
She is one adorable baby, i loved her after vet pic, give her some kisses and hugs from Me, Face and Rita :D

Kay, I am just reading this - I am so sorry that you had to worry all night about Kiara. It is so hard to get through a night when you know one of your kids (skin or fur) has something wrong and you don't know what it is! And even now knowing - having to keep her quiet for a few days! That is sooo hard. Especially since she will probably start feeling better but could use a couple more days of healing. Hope all goes well and she is wagging that tail just fine soon!

That happened to my dog, Oreo, in late January, which is how I found Pet Talk! I was looking for information on dog health, and this forum came up, and I posted a thread about it, and people started answering. We took Oreo to the Vet. on an emergency basis on a Sunday morning because he was crying and crying and crying whenever he pooped.

His diagnosis was a broken tail bone as well. We have no idea how it happened. He was given a shot of pain medication, and we brought some pain pills home with us to give to him. It took about 7-10 days before he started wagging his tail and getting back to his old self again.

I know how distressing it can be. Don't you just feel so bad for her?!? We hope she is getting better and that the pain pills help alleviate her pain.:(

Poor pup, I remember when Autumn threw out her back the first time. She acted the same way and I couldn't help but cry each time she yelped. I hope this is a one time thing for her I've never had a dog break or sprain a tail cause all they have are stubs. Autumn throws out her back maybe once or twice a year since the first time but its never so bad. Feel better Kiara.

Hope the pain medication is helping, how sad to break your tail, KiKi! You've just got to get better because your getting company and going on a trip sweetie! Everyone's waiting to play with you, paws crossed you heal fast!

oh Kay I am so sorry I didn't see this til now!.....poor Kiara:( ...I am glad that she is feeling a little better....I hope that she recovers in time to play with Nebo...... I can only imagine how scared you were.....I am glad to hear that it is not to serious.....give that sweet girl some extra kisses from me k

Thanks guys. :)

My mom and I just went to Wal-Mart. When we got back Kiara was in her crate because my dad said that she kept pestering Nala to play. When I got home she wagged her tail (still lowered to the ground) as fast as she could. I guess these are pretty good signs that she's feeling a bit better. :)

I am glad she is getting better. Give her a gentle hug for me :D

that is great to hear that kay! so glad she is feeling better

So glad to hear that Kiara is doing better.

(((Hugs Kiara)))

Kay you have got to be the best doggy mama there is! you care and love sooooo much for those sweethearts!

I'm SO relieved to hear it's nothing too serious with lil Ki. She's such a gorgous one. Lots of love and prayers, Sarah and Sadie girl.

Oh my, poor Kiara!! :( That is such a weird thing to happen...I hope it's just sprained and not broken. Get feeling better soon Kiara!

Oh Poor Kiara!!

I just saw this Kay!!
I hope that she is all healed soon....

Give her a Hug & a Treat from me and Hobo!!

Thanks everyone. :)


I'm so upset with my friend. :( I was telling him why I stayed home from school today (the Kiara story) and all he had to say was "You missed F-CAT" .. ... .. . We had FCAT testing today, a state wide comprehension test. It was a "practice" Science portion.
I said "Well, My dog was in pain and so not so important to me"...
His response? "The F-cat is pretty important."

Not a single "I hope she's okay".."I hope she feels better." .. nothing.

Nothing but bickering at me for missing a test. :( I'm very disappointed. He's a very nice kid and I love him dearly but this upset me so much. I thought he'd understand how much my baby means to me, but no, evidently a test is more important. :(

Some people just don't understand how important our pets are to us. But WE on PT understand, and I think it's great how caring you are, and how much you love your dog.:)

your friend probably has no idea how much you care for your puppers. don't take it too hard. lots of my friends have told me i'm "too dog crazy" and that i need to "give THEM some time instead of my dogs"

Kay sorry to hear about Kiara but glad to hear she's sort of starting to feel better.

Now Kiara you best get better before Bebo comes for a visit, after all you wanna be able to play with the goofy husky boy don't you?

Thanks again guys..

One thing that i'm really worried about is that she hasn't pooped at all since the vets, and she's ate dinner and had a few treats. What should I do about that, if anything?

When Oreo was having those kinds of problems about a month ago, the Vet told us to mix a little pumpkin pie filling in to his food, and it would act kind of like a laxative, so the stools would be softer. The Vet said if we didn't want to do that, we could give him some canned dogfood. He usually eats only dry dog food.

Oh Kay, I'm so sorry I just saw this thread. Poor, sweet little Kiki (my nickname namesake). It made my heart thump through my chest. I'm just glad it's not extremely serious and that precious baby is attempting a waggie now and then. Aw, and she wants to play so badly too. Sore bums are no fun at all. But I did love the fact that her big brother sensed her pain and gave her kisses, How adorable is that? What a good, loving big brother (reminds me of my human one, ignores me til I'm sick). I hope little pumpkin is better by the time Nebo comes to play. I also guess that since she made elephant poop at the vet, she has to "fill up" again. I wouldn't worry, I'm sure nature will call when it's time. Well, I'm sure wagging MY butt that Kiki is feeling better! And what can I say about your friend? In my book, nothing in this world precedes the care of my dog. I took a month off from work when Cody had ACL surgery and even told them to fire me if need be, but even my boss (the CEO)sent Cody a get well card. Just remember, not everyone believes or feels how we all do about our pets. You just have to pity them, because WE all have "The gift". I love you and hope you're more relaxed and feeling better too.

It must be somewhat of a relief to know what the problem is. Hope she get better real soon.:)

Poor Kiara! :( Hope she feels better soon!

As I am almost 80 % on Cats General, I didn't see this thread about Kiara...:( . I'm so sorry to hear about the hurt tail. I am glad that you found out what was wrong. It is hard hey when you see your pet in pain, but you just don't get what's wrong...:( . I had same thing with Sydney when he was lethargic all the time...:(
Hey Kia, rest as much as your mommy says, and in no time you will be able to waggle and play as much as you want!!

Just thought i'd update you all..
She had a very successful morning potty - as well as a breakfast with her yucky pill in it! :)

I was talking to her earlier and she was wagging her tail as best as she could, now I have to leave her to go to school. :(

Yippeee for the good potty!!!!

Glad to hear she's on her way to feeling better!!!

Wow, I just read this. I am so sorry to hear that Kiara's happy meter is on the fritz. Glad to hear the rimidaly is starting to kick in.

Get well soon, Mrs. Tail!

I'm glad she had a good potty session and is wagging her tail a little. I'm sure she'll be excited to see you when you get home from school. :D

Glad shes feeling a bit better:) Hopefully more improvements when you get home from school. :)

Thank you guys again.

When I got home from school she wagged anbd wagged her tail, still lowered, but it was going! My dad said she had been trying to run around all day. Poor baby.

I just got in from taking pictures of them all. I let Kiara hold her ball, but didn't let her run around with it or throw it for her. She was happy just chomping her teeth down on it for a while. :) She had been looking all over for it.

Sounds like Kiara's tail must be feeling better! I hope she'll be able and wag it full speed and play soon, I know she must really miss playing fetch!

This was the look I got right after I gave her ball. ;)

Oh man, what torture. I remember having to try and keep Samantha quiet after her spaying. She'd give me "those eyes" and man, I felt like the worst mommy in the world for not taking the ball/toy and playing with her!

Poor Kiara! I remember when Rebel sprained his tail, owch! I hope she gets better soon! -hugs Kiara-

awww kiara you have the sweetest pitiful eyes!!......I am glad to hear that you are doing better

That is such a sweet pic of Kiara, Kay!! Oh my, she has such sweet eyes :)

Thanks guys.

She's literally going crazy. She keeps looking around the house whining and whining. She wants to play ball so bad. :( I think i'm going to bring her in my room and just let her play with her ball in here. That way she won't have much room to move around and will be able to play with her ball without too much activity.

Glad Kiara is feelingbetter. It's so hard keeping them quiet, when they want so bad to play!!!

Kay I feel your pain.:( I know what it's like keeping a pup quiet, with both of mine. I could be a professional by now! I know Kiara's younger than Lacey but she's very hyper. It was tough enough keeping her quiet after her leg surgeries but still today she's on leash in her fenced in yard! It breaks my heart knowing she wants to play(and I have cried about it many times) but I know I have to be strong. I tell Lacey everytime I take her out how much longer she has until she'll be loose!:D
I know you can get through this, it will pass quickly! {hugs} to Kiara

Poor Nala wants to play so bad. So does Kiara. :(
They both just got new collars.. they look so pretty. :)
