((((((HUGX)))))) to you and Bo, Time, I know exactly how you feel , I havespent a week worrying avout mr Spot , too he wont eat and is losing weight rapidly .

I dont know if this is any help, but down here , we have ticks , which when they bite a dog, cause them to lose the function in their back legs , they are usualy ( here) found in bushy areas.

My thoughts are with you and bo

arthritis???
 
i would take him to the animal hospital, they are open all night. it could be arthritis maybe a seizure. both are fixable. 2 of my dogs had this problem. my dogs were my babies. i understand how upset you are. call for the local animal hospital or some vets will meet you at your vet. office. mine did. but i live in a small town. heck one time mine met me on tellico parkway to give foxy a shot for his coughing. just make him as comfortable as possible and call your vet. prayers are with him and you. dot

I was lucky enough to have each of my dogs at least 18 years and eventually one by one i had to put them to sleep. the mom and her 2 pups died within6 months of each other. the mom was 19 y.o. and the pups were 18. i have taken mine to the vet and to the animal hospital and made payment on the bill. most will let you do that. i just finished paying off my babies bill the first of the year. i owed so much! good luck, dot i am praying for him.

Prayers sent your way!
I hope he gets better soon.
Dogs touch my heart.I have an English setter named Bodhi and we call him Bo for short.I know how close you can get to them.
They are more than animals.....they are family!

Doug 02-20-2005 05:41 AM

I'm real sorry to hear that Mike, I know how it feels to be close to them.
I hope you come up with a way to get him looked at, and I'll keep you both in my thoughts.

wingsfree 02-20-2005 05:50 AM

You can count on my prayers for your (((((Bo)))))). I also hope you come up with a way to have him looked at.

Please take care of yourself ((((Mike))))) :hug:

With love and understanding, I know all about pets also.......Denise

Mich 02-20-2005 07:04 AM

Oh....I know how hard this is for you....I love my animals too. Please take him to the animal hospital....They can work out a payment plan...you usually do not have to pay all or any up front....They could make Bo more comfortable...I know its scarey...at least call and see what they tell you do.
I am sending my prayers

Mike,

My prayers are with you and Bo. I would have to say, too, that you should probably take him to the vets. Have them work out a payment plan. You will be glad you did and you will know later that you did the right thing. This might not be very serious and at least you would know what it is if you took him.

Hang in there my friend.

Richie 02-20-2005 08:40 AM

Mike,I'm praying for Bo and you.I know sometimes our pets are better friends to us than people.I hope you are able to get him to a vet.Take care and let us know how he is doing.God bless you,buddy.

Prayers for you and Bo.

Please get him to an emergency vet. The h3ll with the money, we can figure that out later.

Call every vet in the phone book. Some still have a heart, and will make payment plans with you. My prayers going out for Bo.
