Diamond is hurt! On the way to the Vet....

[JessLough]

Glad the swelling is going down. Any way she can stay where you are staying, so you can keep a close eye on her?

uhohoh that doens't sound good. When Bronki broke his the long bone in his foot, and when victor did the damage to his carpel both presented like this. So sad and I am so sorry. Praying for a sprain. Casts in the winter are no fun either.

I could see and hear the video. That's a bad owie.

 

[LauraLeigh]

Jess, She's here, she's with me from now on even if I have to get a motel room....

 

[smkie]

Both kind of news for worrying. I am glad the swelling is down. ((((HUGS)))) and vibes that the trachea issue ends up being a no big deal issue. I worry about everything.

Really glad you don't have to do a cast in the winter. Bronki was just a pup and we had a blizzard the day my daughter opened the door and his poor piddy paw was right underneath. Mom made him vinyl socks to slip over it, but no matter how hard we tried it still got wet on the end. His paw always sweated horribly and I was afraid of rot by the smell of it, so the vet took it off early.

Did the vet have any idea what caused the air pocket?

 

[LauraLeigh]

They are worried its to do with a possible small tumor on her trachea

Her right now, she's so bloated it is breaking my heart, and she's so uncomfortable

 

[LauraLeigh]

It's called sq emphysema, in case anyone is wondering

 

[Beanie]

=< No no no... this is totally not fair. You guys are having such a time of it. ((((((VIBES))))))) the steroids get the swelling down.

 

[LauraLeigh]

Thanks Beanie, I'm struggling, first Christmas since we were married not in my own home with my own tree, spilt from some of my family & pets, and now this....

But I know so many are having a far worse Christmas so....

 

[Dekka]

Loads of vibes for Di! How scary.

Since it was so sudden, is it possible she ate something that caused a small tear on her trachea? We recently had a cat at work who got a small tear on his trachea during surgery (they think because he practically flew off the table..no groggy period.. and was very fractious so flailed about right before being extubated) and he had major sub cutaneous emphysema. It started out as some swelling around the neck and ended up with his entire body being about a third larger, if not more. Very odd to see. He did recover with time, though.

 

[LauraLeigh]

I can't imagine how, but you never know, they checked her trachea and found what looks like a small tumor near the bottom, it's the biggest concern right now...

She's so uncomfortable it's not even funny...

 

[Xandra]

Oh man, poor little thing. Hopefully there is no tumor and she recovers from whatever this is quickly.

Poor little girl -- sending many good vibes

 

[Dogdragoness]

i have been lurking on this thread for a while... having lost my dog back in feb... a while back i know but when i see someone elses dog having unexplained health issues all the pain comes back again.

I hurt every time i read a thread like this, because i know how worried/stressed/helpless you probably feel right now.

as we ACD people say: "Bentley's" (the white mark on every ACDs forehead) shining bright for poor diamond

 

[Upendi&Mina]

Poor girl, sending all kinds of vibes that she starts to feel better soon!

 

[Barb04]

Sending lots of healing vibes that she improves.

 

[LauraLeigh]

She's doing much, much better today!!

 

[SaraB]

So glad she is doing better today! She looked absolutely miserable in those pictures.

 

[smkie]

Much much better is very good news. Sending vibes for a complete recovery and a no issue tumor.

 

[ACooper]

Prayers sent for continued recovery, poor baby...
