greg1229 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) I went to work this morning and Isis was her usual self. I come home 8 hour later and she can barely stand or work. Her left rear leg will not support her weight and the paw is curled under. I took her to the e-vet and they took x-rays to see if any broken bones or damage and all was clean. They were even amazed at how well her spine looked for a 13 year old.. great spacing between the verts, no calcium build up and no sign of the Big C. She doesn't seem to be in pain, but is panting a bit more then normal. She sort of moves the leg, but it seems to natural want to pull to be behind her right leg. Vet is hoping it is just a soft tissue injury but is leaning towards a neurological problem. She gave me some Rymadl for to make her more comfortable and I am to keep an eye and see if she improves over the weekend. She was able to stand better when we left the vet then when I took her. When I took her she couldn't even stand on her back legs. but could hop a bit when i went to get her after the xrays a couple of hours later. She even went to jump in the back of the car, but of course went right unto her arse when she shift her weigh to her hind legs. If after a week if there is no improvement, I may be facing the decision that no one wants to face. Isis is a little over 13 years old and I'm not sure how she would be able to handle some of the tests that they may need to do and if there is any surgery that she would need, the vet isn't sure how she could handle the anesthesia. But right now it is a wait and see. Isis is my first greyt and daddy's girl. She has been with me almost 9 years now. I hope is a few more years before I have to make the big decision.

CaliforniaGreys Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Oh no Greg, she is tucked in my prayers. Do you think she could have had a mini stroke? I'm thinking that only because of the paw being knuckled under.

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...

ozgirl2 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Cody had a bulge on a disc in her back & when it pressed on a nerve, she'd knuckle under on a back foot. Ask the vet if it's worth trying prednisone - that & acupuncture made Cody much better & I had her for another year & a half ( 'course she was 10 & a half when she first hurt her back but it's worth a shot!) Definitely try acupuncture if there's anyone near you!!
