Prayers for my Kodie

[sammy101]

They think it might be nerve damage and could possibly be permanent. I'm so upset because he perfectly fine last night and just all of a sudden he can barely use his leg anymore. I dont know how he could have gotten nerve damage from. We have to keep him quiet and he's not allowed to go upstairs or anything. I dont even know if i can take him for a walk because i take him out everyday. My parents just took him to the emergency clinic thats about 20 minutes away so i'm guessing he'll be going to our normal vet probably on monday.
I'm just praying that it will go away but theres a good chance it wont.



He's been in his favourite spot most of the day...

Oh Sammy, I am so sorry to hear this. Did they take x-rays? Did they give him anything for the pain. I hope he is feeling better soon, and that your own vet can give him a more positive answer.

Poor Kodie. I hope he'll go see his normal vet on Monday and he'll make it all better. Prayers and good thoughts commin Kodie!

Sam,

my heart is breaking for you. I just love your boy as if he was my own and will pray he makes a full recovery.. he has to! (((Sam & Kodie)))
please give the big boy a gentle hug for me, Lucy, too! I just love your kids and would hate for anything to happen to them. I know you guys will do everything you can for him, he is obviously well loved.

Thank you so much Krista. I really am scared for him. He's only 3 years old and already something somewhat serious is happening to him. I'm praying all the time that its nothing serious and hope it can be cured whatever it is he has. I'm very anxious to get him to our vet because i want to know exactly whats wrong with him. And we are going to do everything we can for him and i've been giving him lots of extra attention and comforting him since i can see it in his eyes that he knows something is wrong with him.

I know you're worried but your vet will be able to find out better what's wrong with Kodie. He will be ok until you get him there, with your loving care. He may be scared but you are certainly reassuring to him. I will keep Kodie in my prayers.{hugs}

I'm so sorry you and Kodie are going through this . I hope your regular vet will be able to find out more answers as to what could be wrong. My collie Willie became paralyzed in his back end when he got Lyme's, but he started out with stiffness and limping first. Kodie's symptoms sound so puzzling and I know it's scary. I will certainly be keeping him in my prayers.

[chocolatepuppy]

Poor Kodie. I'd say a trip to your regular vet is in order, just to be sure, to double check.

[K9soul]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Please do ask about Lyme's if it seems to progress any, and/or if he seems to be depressed and listless. I do not know if it is prevalent in your area but whenever I hear of sudden lameness with no known cause, I think of Willie when he got it.

[sammy101]

No, they didnt take x-rays. The vets just examined him but no x-rays. I'm pretty certain he'll be going to the vet on Monday so i will keep everyone updated. I'll also mention Lymes Disease to my parents. There are ticks here but i havent really heard of any dogs getting it here. But i will definently mention it.

[k9krazee]

Awww, Kodie will definietly be in our thoughts and prayers!

I think your regular vet can do a more thorough check-up on Kodie. I am sending you & kodie a virtual hug. I hope it's nothing serious and they can take care of it.

[sammy101]

Thankyou. I hope our vet can do more for him and hopefully it will go away eventually. The vet he saw today put him on steroids to see if that does anything and were supposed to wait 4 days before he goes to our normal vet.
He is trying to use it, but it usually ends up criss-crossing with the right leg, and he's walking on the top of his paw rather than the bottom. He's already fallen over once on the tile..poor guy. He knows something is wrong too and he doesn't know what to do.

fingers crossed for Kodie on Monday Morning...
