Spinal disc herniation
Fie, our little poodle is just one and a half years old, she can be described as avery active dog who themselves have taken on
A lot of self-taught numbers.
She can dance
She can jump - from the ground and up to 1 meter straight up in his arms at me.
She can run - going berserk at times, especially in this weatherwe've had recently, a heap of snow - She
has been unable to resist.
When she takes his rounds, you might as well give up, so must growl and so does she like a wild dog. Oddly, it is to see her take the tours.
She has always been very, very active, and a very hearty dog – she has not an ounce of fat on the body, probably because of her daily exercise programs.
She loves to walk and has very rarely dog leash, because sheobeys very well and we go often in places where it is allowed to have his dog go loose.
Fie is the whole family's pet cover - Our 2 children aged 5 and 7 years love her and so do we have 2 adults of course.
Saturday,
December 4, 2010 was no ordinary day for our daughter's 7th birthday and we had invited a lot of guests to the birthday party.
It was pretty quickly
apparent that it was not any particular socialize- release day.
When I was out walking with Fie
Friday evening, she would suddenly not
go further. It
looked like there was nogt wrong with the one foreleg. Salt I thought the snow was thick, so I had tried before.
I took fie up and carried her
home - she is thankfully not very heavy,
with its 4.5 kg.
When we got home, I washed her
front paws, and they seem to help. There was nothing more to note this Saturday evening.
Next morning, I could see there
was something wrong with Fie. It looked almost like she had a
stomach ache, so we began to keep an eye on her.
When my grandmother showed up as
the first guest, was not Fie
Happy as usual - she kept to
herself and would not appear. I
was getting a little worried that she was right ill.
I thought that I would take a
walk with her, but she would not
go beyond the front yard -
She went in and I was getting a
little anxious, for what could
be wrong with her.
At around. 14 am my mom and dad arrived.
My father, who has dad a lot to do with dogs, for his whole life, then of course once saw,
that something was wrong with Fie.
He picked her up and touched her
if something was to mark outside of her. Even her feet were checked thoroughly, but there was nothing to find.
There was nothing to
note, besides my dad said it so like Fie had a problem with legs or back. He
could see Fie on the last part of the body had a slightly curved Back.
He took Fie outside, to see how
bad things were.
After a brief moment, he came
back, bearing in Fie.
He said Fie, in his view was Fie
seriously ill -
He has a theory that dogs are
usually cry for the smallest things.
If you come relatively easy to
enter a dog paw, so
scream it as if it's dying.
In contrast, a dog very tough
when they have come over squeaky point - it
must be borne in mind - When this phase is reached, in each case over in the dog must be helped as soon as
possible, in his view.
My father could alstå see Fie
was very ill, though she did not
gave a murmur from him.
It does not mean that a dog
shall not be helped, take care when the dog does not say anything - it proves
not that the dog is not sick.
One must assess the dog's specific
condition, and one must pay
Extra attention that your dog
may very well be sick,
Although it is not squeamish.
I had even a little hard to be
convinced that his theory were correct, but I would not even play smart - and
frankly, I thought of Sunday supplements and more. the vet, and still I had doubts that it was necessary to run away.
I called around and got hold of
a vet who had Sunday open, close to our homes.
We got an appointment right away
and got Fie, and got her plotted
In the car.
She stumbled out something when
she went, and I was getting something uneasy.
Veterinarian immediately took
hold of examining Fie - He was not so speaking and he came in that he believed
that Fie had a slipped disc.
As the investigation was over,
he felt sure that Fie had got a Spinal disc herniation and he wanted to take a
few x-rays pictures of Fie's back.
I kept himself Fie when he took
pictures, and after they were taken, I went back to the waiting room
with Fie, where also my father sat.
Fie was rapidly worse, and would
now not walk on the floor - I were becoming terrified - what
was it that happened? I
knew Nothing about Spinal disc herniation,
but could see that it was really bad.
Fie lurched about and had no
track of his movements, and the next 10-15 minutes was
quite horrendous. Eventually, Fie could not stand
on their feet, and her hind leg was completely relax - They hung
behind her when she tried to stir - it was as if half of her
was complete dead - no tail movements, no
movements in the hind legs -
My
own brain could not keep up with what was happening. I was deeply unhappy about our
little pet covered condition and I was fully aware that it was
completely mad.
The veterinarian had provoked
the pictures, but could not see anything abnormal. He
believed it was necessary to further subsurveys, to ascertain what
actually was wrong.
The veterinarian gave even
expressed surprise at how quickly Fie's state changed. He scratched the situation up for us:
1. We could let the doctor kill the dog.
2. We could try to give her some
muscle tonic medicin, but the fact that the
disease had developed in few hours, did not make him
optimistic that a treat-
Ling with medication could
benefit Fie.
3. You could try to operate Fie-but he drew attention that this solution was very
expensive and he did much out how to tell that there was
no guarantee for an operation would succeed.
Before Fie had been completely
paralyzed, had we had time to discuss possible try with a medical solution. This solution would prove To be effective within a
few days. But with the turntion in Fie's condition, there
were only 2 options left - either operation, or we had to take it
very cumbersome steps to get killed Fie.
I was unhappy and could not
think - my father sat beside by me - and said we had to make
a plan, because if not we did it, so there was only one
option left and that was that get killed Fie.
We could not sit there and decide anything – for less than 2 hours since we were barely aware that Fie ever failed anything.
My father made the decision.
