My Beemer, 12 year old German Wirehaired Pointer, has been perfectly healthy and active until 10 days ago..
No one who meets Beemer can believe that she's 12..seriously..She's always been a fireball.
10 days ago, I came home from work and she wouldn't use one of her back legs...You could pull on it, bend it, put pressure on her hips and she didn't show any signs of pain...And yet she wouldn't use the leg..The next day she was using her leg again, but was having very obvious abdominal pain.
She's all roach backed now...Like something is terribly wrong in her abdomen...She's in HORRIFIC pain..She's been to 3 vets in the last 10 days...No one can tell me what's wrong with my baby..
Complete bloodwork, xrays, urinalisis...There's nothing there...And yet right now, she's laying on her side whimpering with every breath..:-(
She's in such horrible pain..
My funds are depleted...There's no more money and no more credit..I've spent a fortune in the last 10 days to find out what's wrong..
There's no infection, slightly elevated temp (102.2), rapid heart beat (ofcourse, she's in terrible pain), she's more comfortable sitting or standing than she is laying down..She's exhausted, and so am I..
She's on meloxicam for the pain and the last vet put her on baytril.
She's not getting any better but she's not worse either..She's been in so much pain for so long that I'm scared to think she may give up...Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and if anyone would like to post a possible diagnosis PLEASE DO.
