I apologize for taking so long to update you guys. We spent about 2 hours at our vet, and then had to go see a back surgery specialist, and we sat there for about 3 hours waiting to go into our consultation. She's staying overnight at our vet and then we're going to get some sort of test done on her tomorrow morning (A mylogram I think it was called, but am not sure). We would have gotten that done today, but they said that we'd have to wait until tomorrow. We don't know what the outcome will be as of yet. We can put her through surgery, but the vet/specialist said it's doubtful that she'll be able to run, jump, and play properly again (and that is her life - it's all she lives for). Currently all we know is that she's slipped at least one disc, maybe blew another. The X-ray couldn't show a whole lot. I'll definitely update again once I know more. She's in a ton of pain right now (which means there is probably something else going on - because if she was simply paralyzed, she wouldn't be able to feel much). She bit my mom, our vet, and my dad today. Something she'd never even think about doing normally. Oh, and our vet thinks it's partly herditary and because she's such an active, energetic dog, she could have easily done it by chasing her ball like she normally does.

Thankyou for all of your well wishes and such. They mean a lot to me.

ETA: Here are two pictures I took of her earlier:

We're going to do absolutely everything we can for her, and give her the best chance possible.

I am so sorry

I hope there is something that can be done for her. I will certainly keep her and you in my thoughts.

I am so sorry about this.

We'll know you will do everything you can for her, and whatever choice you make, it will be the right one and you'll consider her quality of life. (((hugs)))

I am still praying for you Tango. Giant ((hugs)) and **kisses** coming your way sweetheart.

Dear God,
I ask you to be with Tango in her time of need, lay a healing hand upon her and ease her pain. I ask that you be with the vets tomorrow, help them find what is causing her pain and help guide their hands to correct the problem. Please comfort her family and allow them to feel all the love that their PT friends have for them and the prayers that we are all sending their way. Sometimes Lord we have to make the decision that you have laid upon us and allow our babies to go to the Rainbow Bridge, only you know if this is Tango's time. If it is please comfort her family and help them through that most difficult decision for they love their baby girl and will only do what is best for her. But I pray with all my heart that this is not the case, not now...that she will be better because anything is possible through you.
I pray all these things in Jesus' name.
Amen.

Hugs to you and your family. Lots of prayers for Tango. Please keep us updated when you can.

Such a sweet, sweet face... I'll be keeping Tango in my thoughts and prayers. I hope there is something the vet's can do to ease her pain, while also repairing her injuries.

Big hugs to Tango... get better sweetie!
