Need some Help - Chloe's in trouble

[luvofallhorses]

I don't have any advice, I am sorry. Poor Chloe and poor you! I hope there's nothing seriously wrong with your girl. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers. ((((HUGS))))

Oh poor Chloe and poor you. hugs.
Some problems, especially back & neurological problems can come & go like you described. Of course with any major problem like that you will be seeing more bad days than good, generally speaking.
X-rays are a good first step, as is bloodwork (ask them to do it when they do the x-rays). A specialist is a great step to take after the x-rays have been done, depending on the results.
Sounds like she's been through a lot of change lately. There is a possibilty that some of her "not acting herself" may be caused by that as well as whatever is going on her medically. Make sure she has safe places to go to when she feels threatened but make sure she has plenty of her own special time with you & the family as well.
Good luck & keep us posted.
How old is she again?

It oculd be spinal injury, disc problems. And a bit of arthritis set in. The good dys / bad ays may, and I emphasize MAY, be due to the humidity levels.

The x rays sound like great next step! Let us know!

Thanks for the input guys.

Chloe turned 6 in January and is a Papillon/Sheltie. My vet said she may be predisposed to some back and hip problems so there could be something underlying there. The x-rays and testing are scheduled for Friday...we just ran bloodwork last Monday, so I'm not sure we'll do that again since the symptoms haven't changed. We'll see what the vet recommends. I just hope she shows them whats wrong this time instead of being the "tough girl" that she is.
