*updated**Prayers needed* for sassy. I think it may be over..

[Chilli]

Positive vibes headed that way for Sassy.
I hadn't known of any health problems with her prior to reading this. Poor girl.
She'll be in my thoughts, and I'm hoping some options will come up!
((((hugs)))) to you, and give Sassy a gentle hug from me, will ya? =]

What happened exactly? It sounds like what happened with Bailey and he's fine.

[shais_mom]

any news?
thinking of you.....

[Taz_Zoee]

Oh no!! Sassy (and family) will be in my thoughts. 9 is VERY young for such a small dog. My mom's min-pin is 17!!! She just has to get better. Positive thoughts coming from California!!

There are some very good pain meds available now for dogs, much more effective than aspirin. My Goldie has chronic pain from an untreated pelvic fracture(broken long before she got to me). She was miserable before we found the right medication. She's been on Meloxicam daily for a couple years now and she's a different dog--happy, playful, and most importantly, comfortable! Talk to your vet about long term medication options.

9 isn't old for a small dog! If she does need surgery, get a full blood panel done first. It will show any problems that might be dangerous during surgery.

I hope you find a way to help Sassy and that she gets more good time with her family!

Oh no! I'm just seeing this thread. I can't believe it. Poor Sassy. I feel your pain & sadness. I am sending you & Sassy a big hug right now. I know you will do what's best for her. Please take care and keep us posted.

Any updates, Alyssa?

[Alysser]

Nothin' yet, but my mom is definately getting a vet appt sometime soon. We really don't want this vet any longer. She's very rude to us, she's not bad as a vet but I hate her attitude and she thinks she knows more abouy my dog then me. Either way, it's too short notice to look for a different vet so this will be the last appt with this piece of work.

After we will be taking a look at some different offices in the area and hopefully will find something better.

Glacier, I have a few questions to ask you about these long-term meds. I am pretty sure that is what we will go with...if it is an option. But do they cost monthly?? If so about how much? Sorry, if this is any personal things you don't want to share.

I would also like to thank you all for the amazing amount of support. I now feel sorry that I ever thought anyone at PT would bash me, but it's just that the other forums have in the past few days on this issue

Thank you, again.

How is Sassy doing today?

How is Sassy doing today?

Yes...how is she??

[luvofallhorses]

Oh no I had no idea she was sick! I will pray that she will be okay.
((((BIG Hugs))))) to you Alyssa!

[K9karen]

Sometimes we have to do the unthinkable. But I'm praying that the vet can help Sassy. I feel your heartache. Whatever happens, I know your decision will be unselfish.

[Karen]

Hopefully she will be okay. If it's a simple spinal injury, emember that doggie wheelie carts can help. If she's sick, though, and the vet says so, you'll know what's best.

You and pretty Sassy, dog-of-your-heart, will be in our prayers.
