RobinM Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 The arched back with the wobbly legs sounds just like Nevada when she was having back problems. Her's was not LS but more thoracic problems. Vet doesn't think it's LS. Right now vet wants to treat her very conservately until she is completely through with her chemo. She said Polli's pain is a bit more further up than LS presnets. How was Nevada treated? Did it help?

She said Polli's pain is a bit more further up than LS presnets. How was Nevada treated? Did it help? We could only treat her with Tramadol & a muscle relaxer. Could not give her Prednisone due to her Cushings disease. She struggled with the back for a while-had good days & bad days. Unfortunately she was towards the end of her days, so I think her poor little body was just giving out on her.

It's gotta be just a quirky coincidence! SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH don't tell anyone... she is looking a bit better today. If on a scale from 1-10 she was a 4 yesterday, she is about a 8 or 9 today. Rest, rest, rest, rest. She is feeling so much better, she started running down the stairs and I grabbed her before she could get down the 2nd flight. So... like I said....

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest grey_dreams Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hoping Polli does well with this round. Have you tried doing massaging and T-Touch to help her muscles adjust to the new weight distribution? T-Touch is a form of accupressure, it stimulates certain nerve pathways like accupuncure but without a needle. It really works! Sending healing wishes and good thoughts to both of you.

RobinM Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Polli appears to be better. She wants to go down the stairs herself and although we would like her to, we won't let her yet. She is definitely straightening her back out. However, today, the first time she demanded to go out with her pack for a walk. Reluctantly, I let her try. DH said just for her spirit she should try. We were only going to go a few houses with her and take her back and DH would continue on with the others like we have done in the past. As soon as she got onto the cement, she buckeled and I could not get her to budge to the grass. In the house she is fine. In the backyard she is fine. As long as she is fine there, it's OK. I feel terrible knowing that she WANTS to walk with her pack. That has always been a big thing for her. Being part of HER pack. They go, she stays. Never alone, I always stay with her, but it's not the same for her.

NevadasMom Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It may just be different for her for a while. At least the spirit is there & she wants to try. She is probably weak right now from the chemo & the adjustment to being a tripod. I think she has done remarkably well in such a short time. Baby steps...
