All good thoughts headed your way.

Sending good thoughts. Who is your vet? I'd like to call them and give them a piece of my mind. Good grief.

I'm sorry you and Dakota are going through this. Such a helpless feeling.
MontananDakota (08-25-2017)
I'm sorry to hear about Dakota and am sending good thoughts and hoping for the best. It is so hard at this stage.
The above quote really fries me because I went through the same thing with Tanner. 12+ years and thousands of dollars and the best they could do during an emergency was say "drop him off and we'll get to him when we get to him." I found a new Vet immediately and they took his complicated case on no problem and gave me hours and hours of consultation, follow up and care right to the end.
Sending continued good thoughts for you to stay strong. Are there Vets in your area that can come to your house, which may help the anxiety around trying to move her. Some vets specialize in in home hospice care and end stage procedures.
Griffin growing up!

Last night she stayed in the same position basically with on & off light panting ( possibly for the dexamethasone injection) I tried several times to move her but to no avail. I just don't want to hurt her. This morning got her up after some struggle, got her legs under her & steady and off she went to the kitchen to eat. Outside to poop & pee and I was thrilled that she was walking by herself. Up the 3 steps back inside with help. When the prednisone & Tramodol kicked in she laid on the floor basically stoned. Tried to get her up again and saw that back leg is now swollen, possible fluid I dont know. Called the vet to make sure they will take her on emergency to say good bye if I feel it is time. I want to be prepared. Because I dont want her to suffer. Sitting at work waiting to hear from the vet about the leg. Trying not to cry and omg this is unbelievable. I told my husband and daughter that I may have to take her and of course they are hurting.
China is giving her space. She never does that. She knows things I don't know.
They gave her dexamethasone shot last night and said to start this tramodol and prednisone today...but i hope it isnt too much. She has a look in her eyes and Im sad because I cant read it. I cant read her look because of the medicine. Does that make sense?
i just need to keep myself together to get thru
No amount of will make this any better for you....but know that you and Dakota are in my thoughts. I so hope that you'll get acceptable vet news and that maybe this will turn out to be a bump in the road and that she'll improve. So hard...

I'm scared to even check the camera. I checked once and she was not in the usual spot ( because today I left her laying in a different spot because I Wanted to let her rest) the empty spot is tearing me apart. She didnt want to take a treat from my husband when he left shortly after me. And by then the prednisone should have kicked in which usually makes them want to eat doesn't it??
I don't know about prednisone
Big hugs. sending prayers
