Guest HoustonGreys Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 DD just called and Trixie is coming home tonight and will be going to our vet in the morning for full body xrays. The evet ruled out a thrown blood clot --- thank the good Lord! --- but at the same time does not know what is wrong. They think possibly a pinched nerve. They said she was obviously in a lot of pain and gave her an injection and are sending her home with an anti-inflammatory and Tramadol. They offered to keep her overnight but DD felt Trixie would be more comfortable at home and DD will be more comfortable with her here. So, it's not all bad but we'll all feel better when we have a diagnosis. Please continue to keep Trixie in your prayers and I will update as we have news. I could not update the original post --- guess I need to be a GT supporter. I wanted to be sure y'all saw this one but now I can tell you I'll do all the updates in this post since I hate to keep starting new ones --- feel like I'm hogging the board. So I hope you don't mind to scroll along to see what's happening. Thanks again so very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HoustonGreys Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Thank you all so very much for the prayers. Trixie was able to sleep last night which was a blessing for her and my daughter. Stacey had her at the vet's before 9:00 AM and he thinks it's either a pinched nerve in the neck or a pinched disc in the vertebrae. They kept her for xrays as they are going to have to sedate her to get her neck in the position they need. He may not get to the xrays before noon (surgery time) and will call when Stacey can pick her up. Stacey didn't ask what the protocol for treatment is for either of those two problems and I suppose it's best to wait and see what we're dealing with. I would appreciate continued prayers until we have a diagnosis and treatment plan. Of course, then I'll be asking for prayers until she's completely healed. THANK YOU GTers --- Y'ALL ARE THE BEST!!!!! edited to do spell check Edited September 10, 2008 by HoustonGreys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HoustonGreys Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 *****UPDATE Wednesday, 1:00 PM The vet just called --- he had sent the xrays to a radiologist to read and the news is not too bad. Trixie does have a narrowing between C5 and C6 and her spine is out of line. He does not feel any surgery is necessary at this point because she has not lost any neurological function. She will be on muscle relaxers and start Cortisone Saturday. This will be something we'll continue to watch. Thank you all again for the prayers and good thoughts. Stacey will pick her up at 3:00. So Trixie can be removed from the "critical prayer list" and we can concentrate on the others on the list --- there seem to always be too many, poor babies. If things go sour for her I'll be asking to be put back on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Good to hear that the news isin't too bad Jackie. I bet her brother will be glad to have her home. Maybe think about acupuncture. That helped Tanner quite a bit.We'll keep Trixie in our prayers!!

lizjaye Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I had the same thought - is there anything holistic that can be done? Hmmm. Glad you got a diagnosis - not the best news but certainly not the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 that's not too bad! I second the acupuncture, Sugar had a similar problem and acu made a huge difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HoustonGreys Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion of acupucture. I'm going to mention it to Stacey. She and I have a total different opinion on what's going on --- I'm beginning to think I'm in denial of the real situation. I thought: This is just a flair up and will be treated and she'll be OK. The narrowing could've been a birth defect, not necessarily something that's new and only time will tell. She thinks: This is the beginnine of worse things to come and how long can we keep her comfortable. What do y'all think? I don't think she asked enough questions and she didn't even find out if surgery could correct it. Straighten me out, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
