RobinM Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Although the chemo is always something I dread for Polli- she ultimately will bounce back whether it's 5 days or 10 days, but she will. My concern now is what the heck is going on with her arched back, wobbly legs that are having a hard time carrying her. I am sick over this beyond words. Feeling like ka ka after the chemo and barely able to carry herself - I'm afraid will be just too much for her. I hope I am underestimating her. I am really scared. And as much as I want tomorrow to be here so that the vet can check her out, I'm afraid of the outcome. So, please, once again, hold Polli in your prayers.

zimsmom Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Can you hold off on the chemo until this gets sorted out? I'm sorry this is happening to Polli (or any dog for that matter). I know how hard it can be having gone through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how hard it can be having gone through it. That will be something the vet will have to yay or nay. re: chemo. Can you explain what exactly you are referring to as having gone through? Arched back and legs issues? If so, what was it?

MerlinsMum Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Polli is always in my thoughts Robin - now more than ever. I am sorry to hear of these new issues. I am sending lots and lots of good thoughts for strength, a relatively uneventful round of chemo, and peace of mind. Is she still using the stairs, despite being wobbly? Is she eating?

That's a VERY good sign and cause for optimism. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for her tomorrow. You can do it Polli! We're all rooting for you sweetie.

Charlies_Dad Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Let's see what the vet has to say Monday before the chemo. Perhaps she is over compensating now with three legs, it's tough to tell. I can imagine the stress and worry you are having. We'll all be thinking of Polli and you and hopefully you get some good news tomorrow. Is there any benefit to asking for x-rays to find out there is nothing serious with her back/rear legs?

If the vet thinks that x-rays are a good idea- she is absolutely have them. And I hope it's just a compensation. Dh has been massaging her all day, not hard, but not gentle either and immediately after for a second or three she did look straighter.
