Luna: vomiting and weakness in her hind legs; very worried!

[Randi]

Kirsten, you must be relieved hearing what the vet said. It might be someting entirely different, like she hurt her leg at some point, or arthritis perhaps? Has she been very active before this happened?

It's a good sign that she is hungry, so I hope she'll be OK. Sending lots of positive thoughts anyway.

(((Hugs)))

Thanks, Gary and Randi!

Well, I remembered that when she got her shot at the vet's this morning, she fought and for a second, she stood up on that leg. She got the shot into her butt (on the left side), I was thinking that - since she was struggling - the nerve in her left leg may have been affected (I remember that I often had a nerve pain in my leg after butt shots), maybe it's just that. However, I saw her licking that part a while ago.

Kirsten,
You must be so worried. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Two things came to mind re: wobbling. 1) the shot location and it causing some temporary pain/nerve tingling. 2) the vomiting...maybe she is totally fatiqued by the loss of energy?

Whatever it is, prayers coming to you 3!

This is exactly what I was going to post. My RB Puddy had a vomiting spell and she was so weak from it that her legs wobbled and once she even collapsed. Or it could be soreness from the injection. Either way please know that prayers are going up for you both right now. Keep the faythe.

Prayers on the way from me for you and your sweet Luna too!

[Kirsten]

Thanks a lot, it's very appreciated!!

Well, I don't think the weakness in her legs is caused by fatigue/exhaustion from the vomiting, she doesn't look tired or exhausted to me. And she hasn't thrown up for 12 hours now. But maybe this was really caused by the injection this morning? Whatever it is, I hope it goes away!!

It might very well be a reaction to the injection there. What a relief that it wasn't a stroke or thrombosis!

Prayers and healing energies and loving wishes are sent that Luna is soon over this and back to her usual sweet self.
