Need Prayers!!

[cyber-sibes]

Saying prayers for your sweet Anna. And give her a nice long hug from me, please. I'm so happy she's in your loving care.

What does the vet think is causing this? I do hope Anna will be just fine after the steroids. Please know that I will keep that beautiful girl in my prayers.

That is so worrisome, I know. When my male had that problem, it turned out to be an infected and swollen prostate pressing on nerves. It was temporary until we got him neutered. I don't know how old Anna is, but perhaps it's just a mild back injury and the steroids will help. We'll keep her in our thoughts. Hang in there.

Thank you All.It is very overwhelming,Doc thinks it is a swollen disk,Anna is 13,she just went through a major surgery back in May for a ruptured Tumor,It has been up and down she has not really moved the last few days,Doc says that she needs to have as little movement as possible.I just hope things work for her,We will not put her through another surgery she barely made it through her last,It is not fair to her and her needs are what come first.

Doc is positive things will work,She has another few days on the Steroids,She will most likely be on some sort of medication for the rest of her life.

I will keep all intrested updated!

I know a husky on another forum who had back sugery, and they take him to hydro-therapy, which really seems to help. Maybe if she recovers a bit, there might be somewhere nearby that offers that? Acupuncture might help with her back, too. We're keeping her in our prayers.

I'm willing to do anything for her,I just do not want her to suffer any.As i speak she is eating and having a drink,But I have changed her bedding 4 times today she keeps wetting herself.

I love her dearly!I will do anything,I just do not know if Surgery is going to help.or if she makes it through?

I was wondering about hydrotherapy as well. The dog walks on a treadmill in warm water. The water provides bouyancy and is soothing. It may be worth exploring if something like this would help her? It is very similar to physical therapy offered to humans. The places which offer this also typically offer other types of pysical therapy and may also teach you some massage techniquest o help relieve muscle tension. Again, no idea if these things are appropriate for her, that is what you would want to learn first.
