Looks like the dog will live....

July 28th, 2009 at 12:49 am

$112 dollars later and 3 medications, it looks like our dog did not have a stroke, but has a bulging disk perhaps? The vet can only guess. She has steriods, antibiotics and pain killers. We could have gone for the $2100 spinal work up, but hey, I will be unemployed soon. So we try the cheap route and hope for the best!!

   What a pretty pup! Why did you think she had a stroke? My dog had canine vestibular disease, which is kind of like vertigo, but during an episode it looks a lot like a stroke.
   
   Here's hoping your dog is feeling better soon.

   Sure hope your doggie feels better soon. I know how you are feeling. I have had some big vet bills lately too and am expecting more next month!

   She was doing well, even acting like a puppy! But then she went down the steps last night when we were not looking and we are back to being miserable. Ugh! Thanks for the get well wishes!

   Sweet pup! I hope that what you have done leads to some relief. There is pet insurance, I guess, but it's expensive. I'm pulling for your pooch!
