JamieP Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Ive got her home, she is not good though, she can hardly move, ive got her in her cage as orders of the vet. The vet has put her on a strong course of steriods and if she does not start improving in the next few days then she is being referred and having a mri scan (wish i got insurance this is going to cost a bomb, £600 so far) poor little thing, i pray she gets better:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Lynz_ Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 At least there's hope Jamie, they wouldn't have let her come home if she was too poorly to get better. She's a young dog and I'm sure she's resiliant. Keeping my fingers crossed and saying a little prayer for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yep, fingers crossed for the next few days, she has not moved an inch since i put her to bed, im not sure if i should take her out for a wee or not, ill stay up as late as i can and if she gets up i take her out.

Supragal Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I don't know what type of steroids she's on but be warned they may make her drink and wee like a demon. Just worth looking out for so she doesn't wet herself in the crate then panic. Sorry to hear this, take out insurance!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just worth looking out for so she doesn't wet herself in the crate then panic. Sorry to hear this, take out insurance!!!! Yea i noticed that before when Jake was on some for ear infections, when i had tesco's insurance on Jake the policy is a 12 month contract, so if he gets in illness the next year they wont cover him on it, bloody stitch up tesco's.... I know there are companys that cover them for life now but it left me annoyed so i never got insurance for her, luckily i can afford it and i dont care what it costs to get her fixed up.

Supragal Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Well if you don't care about the cost then get the Kennel Club plan. It's far more expensive than any of the others but we must have claimed 10k+ for our Dobe and they have paid every time no question and I don't think they've excluded it either. Premium hasn't increased as a result either. Highly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Without being melodramatic I'd keep the dog in quarantine until you are sure what's up with it. Not sure if you have other pets, or friends and relatives visit with theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are companys that cover them for life now but it left me annoyed so i never got insurance for her, luckily i can afford it and i dont care what it costs to get her fixed up. I had Petplan Forlife cover on my staffy, and the premiums were spiraling to the point he was going to cost more than the Supra to insure. Instead I've got some cheapey £12pcm jobbie that is a 12 month contract but otherwise covers the same, and I'll trouser the difference and pay up if he gets an ongoing illness out of it.

JamieP Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Glad to say she is looking loads better now, she is still cage bound as the vet dont want her running about yet but she has really perked up, such a relief, we are going to gradually reduce the steroids now and hope she dont take a turn for the worse.
