Layla

Please pray for Layla. Will explain later. PLEASE.

I saw your thread on YT. Sending thoughts your way. Big hugs to you and Layla

[Lindsey]

Thanks Maddie.

Over the course of yesterday, Layla went from not climbing stairs to completely losing control of her back legs. She may have a split or ruptured disk. We need to decide our course of action for the next couple of days... if it gets bad enough do we want to do back surgery or commit her to being on wheels for the rest of her life. We will do the surgery, no matter what the cost. But we're praying she gets better before it gets to that point.

Prayers are coming to Layla, Lindsey. I read it on FB. Please post asap.

Hugs to you too! You just be so scared!

Oh, poor Layla. That sounds so serious. I'll be praying.

I am terrified. She is my baby. Our vet just took her in and is hopefully going to get her to pee or poop today since she wouldn't for us all night. We bought this house for Layla, we wanted her to have a yard so we bought a house. What if she can't enjoy it? What if she can't even get up and down the stairs? What if we should have just stayed in the condo to make her life easier?

I asked the vet about chiropractors because a YT person said she had great luck with chiropractors with even totally paralyzed dogs. The vet said it could be great, and she would get some information for me today. She was going to call another vet who practices accupuncture, although he's in the process of retiring. She's going to try to get us in. She's also calling the small animal hospital to get quotes and book us in for an MRI.

I am exhausted and I feel nauseous. My baby can't walk. I have taken that so for granted. I should have taken her in yesterday morning instead of waiting all day. Maybe something could have been done sooner. She walked on it and it kept getting worse until she couldn't walk anymore.

Lindsey, you ARE exhausted. Everything just looks really bad to you right now. Maybe Layla's problem can be fixed as quickly as it popped up. Don't question buying your house or when you got her to the vet. Just go slow and make the best decisions that you can at the time. We are all praying for you. You have always done your best for Layla, and for everybody that you love. Breathe Linds.....
