Prayers for my Buster - 08/15/13 08:09 PM
About 3 weeks ago, my little shih tzu "Buster" started hurting in his lower back and hips.(He is 4 1/2 years old) It got to the point after different treatments that he could barely stand on his back legs. We couldn't hardly touch him without him crying with pain. After 3 weeks of vet visits, we ended up taking him to a specialist in Austin. Long story short, he had 2 ruptured disc, and they did surgery on Wednesday. Today because of the swelling, his back legs are paralyzed. They say he should get 95% of his mobility back in his back legs as time should heal them. I just ask for prayers for my little furry puppy and complete restoration. Has anyone else had this happen to their pups? It sure hurts the heart when you know they are hurting and you can't do anything for them. Thank goodness we are on the road to recovery. He is still in the doggine hospital and we are supposed to pick him up Saturday. Prayers please!
