Teddy

I really want to thank everyone for your warm Teddy wishes. Not much phases me in life anymore. It takes a lot to rattle my old bones; well, middle aged bones to be honest. But let something happen to the pup.....that really shakes me up. It has been a looooong 35 hours. Teddy came through her 107 temperature with flying colors. Most dogs would suffer seizures and suffer organ damage with that kind of temperature but this is the second time this has happened to her and she has tolerated it more than well. She is going to have to see an internist to find out why this keeps happening. It seems that something is off with her temperature regulation. That aside, when she came home she was lame. I couldn't believe it. She could hardly stand and could put absolutely no pressure at all on her right hind leg. I thought I would let her rest for a while and see if it got any better. She soon fell into a deep sleep but when she woke up it was worse. After calling the vet 3 times I finally insisted that they have another look at her. It is almost 9:30 at night here and she just came home. They examined her thoroughly and from what they can tell, they must have hit a nerve when they took blood and caused a severe hematoma. So she is now on anti inflamatories and ice packs and we are taking turns sleeping on the floor with her. If you hear really loud snoring that would be me!!! Thanks so much again and I might be posting a bit late tomorrow. Zzzzzzzzz!!!!
