Some healing prayers needed for Bailee.

My moms little dog Bailee had to have back surgery yesterday.

My mom started noticing a change in Bailee on Friday night, so she took her to the vet on Saturday morning and they discovered she had a ruptured disc in her spine. The vet told my mom that she wanted to see her back in a week to recheck her, but over the weekend she wasn't improving any despite being on steriods and muscle relaxers, so my mom took her back on Monday afternoon.

She is doing ok from her surgery. She ate a little bit this morning, which is the first she had eaten since Sunday night. But it's going to be a long recovery process and they aren't sure if she will be able to walk again, even though the vet is happy with how the surgery came out.

Here are some pics of Bailee in case anyone doesn't know who she is, or if anyone has forgotten.







We would appreciate any prayers and good thoughts for her, and especially for my mom since she is having to go through this basically by herself. I would be there with her, but I'm still in SC.

Thanks everyone. We reallly appreciate the good thoughts and prayers for Bailee.

There still really isn't much to tell. They have been having to express her bladder and she hasn't been trying to stand up on her hind legs.
She does wag her tail when my mom goes to see her though. And this morning she actually peed by herself. So that's a good step in the right direction.
The vet said he has held her up under her belly and she does put a little weight on her hind legs, and try to move them, but she can't physically get up to stand on her own yet.

Oh no! Poor Bailee. Sending good thoughts Bailee's way.

I think maybe doxies are prone to this. I do hope Bailee has a speedy recovery!

Bailee had been doing really well and was walking and playing normally until a couple days ago.. My mom noticed her sides quivering again from the pain, and noticed that Bailee didn't want to be touched or eat or anything.

She took her to the vet yesterday morning and she had another ruptured disc in her spine. They did surgery on her yesterday afternoon.

My mom went to see her this morning and she isn't using her back legs but seemed to be in good spirits.. It is just kind of one of those wait and see things again. But we will all hope for good things. Last time Bailee didn't use her legs barely at all until my mom brought her home.

Please send prayers for this sweet little girl.. The vet himself was even shocked that it happened again.
