| Thank you everyone.
He does think this may be an injury although I don't believe that is why he told me to leave her on the grass.
I discovered this growth on July 26th and took her to my vet July 29th to have it looked at. She was walking fine but seemed lazy a couple days prior. He contributed her behavior to the heat or maybe an injury. He put her on Anafen for 10 days.
On the 9th day (Aug 7th) I went back as she was starting to stumble on the stairs. I though the drugs might have been contributing to this. He gave me more Anafen and booked her in for surgery for Aug 12th.
The next day (Aug 8) I returned again as she now was collapsing. He still figured it was injruy so switched her medication. I expressed that it was very difficult for me to care for her if she couldn't walk because both exits of my home have a few stairs and I can't support her with a towel around her stomach because she yelps from the pain of this lump. That is when he suggested... I leave her in a grassy area so she "could drag herself to relieve."
This is when I took her to my Moms, Friday morning and on Saturday she seemed to be strengthening just a little... she could walk about 5-6 steps and I thought the medication was helping.
I was wrong.
Sunday morning she couldn't stand up at all, which brings me to today. :(
It's all been so quick.
I'm hoping an ultrasound will provide me some answers and will be sure to let everyone know the outcome once I get back to a computer.  |
