| Thank you all for your kind words and advice.
I guess because in previous years my dogs have had various lumps removed and continued on to live well I had a glitch of hope that it was this lump that has caused her to lose the use of her legs, all in a matter of a few days. Because both arrived at almost the same time I felt they could be related and by removing it possibly pressure would be relieved and she would walk.
I have marched her back to my vet my 3x in the last couple weeks and on Friday was again told to not give up. I have suggested an xray and he indicated that this type of injury (which he thinks it might be disc) wouldn't show up on a normal xray.
Tomorrow I will return with her to see him and at his recommendations I will do whatever he feels best, unless he tells me the same thing as last time... take her home and leave her in a grassy area where she doesn't have to move much. I will not return home with a dog that cannot walk. |
