Guest greyvettech Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Please keep Jenni in your thoughts. She kept me up all night panting and painful-I gave her an exam and concluded that she had hurt her neck-We went for a walk this morning(after a painful walk downstairs:(and she put her head down to smell the grass and shreaked the awful greyhound scream!! I took her to work with me and my Vet confirmed that she probably herniated a disc in her neck... I feel so bad for her- I completely freak out when something is wrong with our pups- She is on Diazepam, tramadol, and prednisone and I think she feels a little better already- get well Jenn Dee!!!!

Guest joedogs_mom Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Prayers for a quick recovery -- my angel Joe had recurring trouble with his discs and it was very hard for us all and ultimately why we had to put him to sleep. Speedy recovery vibes heading your way and prayers that they don't happen again! Believe me, I know how rough those nights of panting/pacing are...thinking of you and your baby!!!

Guest Speedhoundz Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 You know, I was just discussing this issue with my vet yesterday because a former foster of mine was just diagnosed with a bulging disc in his neck as well. My vet said proper rest is *key*, so you might want to consider putting Jen Dee on strict crate rest for a while. My former foster did well for a few days on the pain meds but then suddenly took a turn for the worse, so it's better to be safe than sorry. Good luck. Sending lots of prayers for Jen Dee!

Guest greyvettech Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thanks guys for all your good thoughts:) Yes, I have to rest her as much as possible which isn't easy for her-She cannot be in a crate as she has severe seperation anxiety and I fear she would hurt herself even more- Leash walks only for about 4 weeks-If it becomes a reoccuring problem, I think I may consider acupunture- We don't offer it at the clinic I work for but I have heard great things about this treatment!

silverfish Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 My sympathies to poor Jen Dee! Renie has neck issues too, and is suffering a flare up right now. Are you walking her in a harness? If not, it's perhaps something you might want to consider. Jim had acupuncture for his arthritis, and it helped him a lot! Our nearest clinic is an hour and a half away though, on not very good roads. It's a bit of an ordeal for them when they're in acute pain. However, I had a couple of needles put in during my physio yesterday, and I can tell you from my own experience that the reduction in pain while he worked on me was incredible.

Guest greyvettech Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks! She is feeling much better today-she can put her head down to sniff the grass now:) Although I am trying to promote her from not moving around too much more than she has to-I think she'll only approve from here! ...... Yep, I'm walking her with a harness...We are leaving to go out of town in about a week and a half,I hope she is better by then and I hope she doesn't re injure herself while rough housing with the greys she's staying with- I will have strict rules for the babysitter. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
