Re: Heartbroken, Guilty, Scared and Exhausted

Yeah Pumpkin was a no go. Lol. My pup pooped like a champ on Monday. Yesterday was a tough day. It's like he lost all the progress he made. I'm not sure why he was in so much pain yesterday. It was day 7 of cage rest. I have been strict with cage rest. Only taking him out when he has to go potty. Wh...

Re: Acute non-compressive nucleus pulposus extrusion

How is Buddy doing? And how are you? I almost think it's as tough (not as painful) on us human parents as we have the emotions and fear to deal with. Wishing you and your fur baby the best.

Re: Heartbroken, Guilty, Scared and Exhausted

Does sitting like that damage their spinal cord any more than it is already? We are Day 6 and we have had good days and bad days. Getting his medicine right is a challenge (for pain). The doctor says every 8 hours. However, by 6 hours he is typically in pain again. I called and she said not to give ...

Re: Acute non-compressive nucleus pulposus extrusion

I'm so sorry to hear about your fur baby. Im new here to the site myself. I recently posted and have received so much support and advise. It's just nice to be able to talk to people that understand what your going through. My little guy is in a similar situation. He is 5 this month and Monday his ba...

Re: Heartbroken, Guilty, Scared and Exhausted

Thank you for all the advise. Today was much better. He was able to go potty (with help of holding him up). He was able to use his right leg pretty decent the few times I took him out today. I can't even tell you how much joy and hope this gave me. Just a small improvement and his feisty attitude ag...

Re: Heartbroken, Guilty, Scared and Exhausted

Thank you so much for responding. Sometimes just being able to say what you are feeling and other people understand can make all the difference. My husband does help as well but Smokey is a momma's boy and we have always had a routine so he isn't as cooperative with his human daddy at times. Lol. To...

Heartbroken, Guilty, Scared and Exhausted

I have a 5 year old Cockapoo named Smokey. He just turned 5 last week. He is a pretty small dog weighing 13 pounds. He has always been healthy. Never any issues ever. He isn't over weight, he is well behaved and honestly a sweetheart. Him and his brother are my fur babies. I work from home and am wi...
