Reaction To Shot

[FiveRoooooers]

A friend recommended these dog booties. I have been very pleased with the durability and fit of the neoprene and soft sock booties, as well as the incredibly speedy shipping.

I don't know if it is available in the US but with heavy nerve damage we work very successfully with homoepathie.

Normally it is for dogs but a friend of mine took these and regained use of her hand - she had no feeling in it for over a year.

 

One dose of nux vomica c1000 - 5 globulis and every morning one capsule of Keltican forte.

 

There is no guarantee that it will work but it won't make it worse. It is worth a try.

My vet recommends keeping nux vomica in the homeopathic emergency kit. I don't know if the other two are available here or not.

Another vote for dogbooties.com, they are great. Affordable and fast shipping, too!

Thank you for your response

 

I am afraid to try something new after a simple shot went so bad. I'll ask the vet about it, we will be seeing him soon.

Nux Vomica is a scary drug, it has the same ingredient as rat poison. There is not much information here on it. It is available. Keltican Forte is not available here. I would have to check with out vets to see.

 

After our bad luck with a simple shot, I am really afraid to try something new.

 

 

You might ask the vet about using either of the products below:

 

Therapaw boots fit Greyhound paws well, and are much better than having no thick padded protection while walking outside. http://www.therapaw....a-pawboots.aspx

 

Therapaws also makes a dorsi-flex assist to help keep paws in an upright position: http://www.therapaw....exassist-1.aThank

Thank you for your Response

 

I will check with the vet to see if it is available and if he would recommend it. It looks like what we might be looking for.

You can use the fleece booties in the house and the 1000 Denier for trips outside.

This. The 1000 Denier were great for walking in the snow in NYC, and for the girlie I had who liked to give herself pedicures with her teeth at 3 am!

As Paracelsus said, "All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose makes that a thing is no poison"

 

Homoeopathy works on a subatomic level and says that something similar should be healed by similarly.

When you read about the ingredients of homeopathic drugs you will find many poisonous things like snake or spider venom and plants. But the very small dose helps the body to fight the actual illness or problem.

 

Therefor you don't have to be afraid of nux vomica. It is one of the most used ingredients in my emergency pack along with arnica and hypericum. The smaller potences do wonders against vomiting.

[Koyotekyle]

Vet number 3 thinks it might not be "nerve" damage. We are taking him tomorrow for another exam. Even if it isn't nerve pain, we need something to protect is paw when walking, so I hope he will still order the device from Therapaw. I hope we know more after the exam. So Many say that a shot hitting the nerve shouldn't cause problems this long. It would really be nice to think that it is not permanent.

I am just so afraid I've trying something I am not sure of. This whole thing just started with a simple shot given many times by others. I will keep Vox Vomica in mind if the next visit to vet #3 doesn't have any new answers. Would a holistic vet have this? We have used a holistic vet before and she worked wonders with out first grey with spinal stenosis. . We were very happy with her and her services.

We have found a device from therapaw that seems to be what we want. It pulls the paw straight. If our pup doesn't respond or won't recover this will be great so we can go on walks again.He loves his walks and is really disappointed when he can't go with our other two It had to be ordered through a vet, so we have an appointment tomorrow. If the vet does not approve it, we will have to get the boots. So far the boots we have tried he has managed to get off or walk out of.

Fingers crossed that the Therapaw can help your boy. Keep us posted about his progress. I'm following this thread closely as my own boy Blaze has some nerve pain and possible damage in his front right leg and can sometimes scuff on it (he has a neuritis between C7-T1 vertebrae as is currently on Gabapentin, is getting physio and acupuncture, and is being referred to a chiropractor. He fractured his front right radius a year or so ago and we think his altered gait has contributed to the neuritis). His issues are not as severe as with your boy, obviously. I hope the new examination gives you some more answers. Incredible to think this is the consequence of one unfortunate shot, poor boy. I'm really hoping he can recover function. Very best wishes.

I think a holistic vet would be good idea. I learned about homeopathie from my vet. I was more than skeptic about this but I had to realize that I was a jerk to dismiss nature's healing ressources. I now know that I put my first dog through some heavy drugs where perhaps I should have gone better ways.

[Koyotekyle]

Waiting for a call back from the vets. Now have Vets 3 and 4 trying to figure out what is wrong. They want to keep our pup at the vets office for them to observe him for a while. Vet 3 & 4 have never seen any reaction like this to a shot. They checked about the needle and where the shot was given, but appear baffled. Poor boy, comes off he track fine and then this happens.

[tbhounds]

Have they ruled out a deep abscess? If available they could ultrasound the effected area looking for a necrotic or abscessed area.

[Koyotekyle]

No change in diagnosis from Vets 3 & 4 exam. . It is still apparent nerve damage from the shot.. A case like Verdasco's none of the vets have not seen before (Same as Vet 1 & 2). They all say nerve damage usually fixes it self in a short period of time, but not with Verdasco. Every one I talk to says the same thing, they have given shots and hit a nerve and the nerve problem result has never lasted very long.

 

They have ordered the device from Therapaw so he can go for walks and hopefully learn to put his paw down to keep him active The rest is just wait and see and hope. We will give it some more time keeping him active.

 

They researched NUX VOMICA in their manuals, but did not think it would help with his condition.

 

After a wait and see, we will try alternative vet treatments. I will keep you posted. Wish for the best for Verdasco

Thank You,

 

I will see about this when we see the specialist again. I didn't see your comment until after the vet visit. The specialist said before that he didn't think xrays would not be useful.. We will keep trying.

[Koyotekyle]

Vet number 5, a neurologist, confirms it is nerve damage, but an unusual case as it should have been better by now. We haven't got the therapaw device yet, but he says it IS important to use as the muscles and tendons are "shrinking" in the paw and they need to be stretched. He has referred us to a Canine Rehab vet (#6 vet) Which gives us more hope that something can be done to help him get better. Keep your fingers crossed.

ALL fingers and paws crossed for your boy.

Thank you for this update. We so hope this boy will improve with rehabilitation!

[Guest LazyBlaze]

Everything crossed for your trooper.

[smurfette]

I keep thinking of you and hope they can help Trooper.

We still do not have the new device for Verdasco, and haven't been able to connect with the physical therapy vet yet. . We taped up Verdasco's paw, so if he dragged it he would not scrape the top of his paw, and we went almost 2 miles. He led the way some of the walk so I am pleased. He hops but drags his paw at times so we hope the device will help him go for walks. He really enjoys the walks.

[Koyotekyle]

Today we got the Dorsi-Flex boot for Verdasco. He doesn't like it much, but he did much better on our walk today. The Vet says take short walks until he gets used to it. The instructions say to not leave it on for long, but for Short walks the amount of time is about right for now. It has O rings on the toes for the straps to pull his paw straight.

 

It was funny, I could not figure out right away what the clicking sound was, but it was really a good sign, because it meant that his toes were more forward. They also recommend a sock to go underneath the boot and strap holder. Childrens size 4 worked fairly well.

 

All the staff at the vets office were taking a look at it and some pictures, as they had never seen it before. So now it is just time to see how it works.

 

We keep playing phone tag with the canine rehab people. Hopefully we will get Verdasco to them soon.

Thanks for the updates. Good news about the boot. Hope improvement is in the future.
