Charlie needs GI tract protector, Pepcid AC + sucralfate, on board w/Dex! ]7/18 Mon 4:28 PM
Please help me. My Charlie got diagnosed last week. It’s has progressed so much since then. Vet recommended surgery but I
don’t have $7000 and don’t qualify for care credit. What can I do? I’m heartbroken.
She was a lot better yesterday. Took a few steps and was able to use the bathroom. How do I make her better?
[replased 7/18] She’s
back to dragging her back paws. I thought for sure we were on the mend. She does have feeling in her back legs. When I touch her paw she pulls them back. Yes, she is crated 95% of the time and on meds. I have been
letting her sleep with me.I tried to keep her in the crate last night and she was crying. She never does that so I gave in and let her out. The crate she’s in is too big for the bed tho. And yes she has bladder control. Couple of days ago I think she peed on herself but has been ok since.
I’ll keep her in the crate tonight

Last night see peed in the bed and this morning pooped on herself  if she’s close to the pad she will use it tho. What can I do? Or what am I doing wrong?

I’m not sure about the meds or if she has bladder control. I feel like when she starts moving around she either wants water or to go pee. She saw the vet last Friday and he recommended surgery. I
just don’t have the $.
Vet told me that I could take her out of the crate as long as I’m at home. I dunno. I’m learning. I just want her to be ok.
He gave me a bottle. Said it was
anti inflammatory [ DEX]. Makes her really thirsty. My vet did say there were other options just that surgery is the best one. Charlie is only
3 yrs oldYes that’s all that he gave me. She doesn’t seem to be in pain. She doesn’t cry or anything. She was even playing with a toy the other day. He gave me a little over a weeks worth of medicine. I’ll give her the [Dex]l
ast one tonight. Going in the morning to get refill
I’m not home from work yet. But this morning she was bout tha same. I know she had some feeling in her paws cause she pulls them when I touch them. Do I express her even if she is peeing sometimes?
She owes when I put her on the puppy pad but she peed in the bed last night so I don’t know

That’s the medicine
Is there something else that would work better for her
She doesn’t seem like she’s hurting
No one home while at work
I do have a friend that has checked on her
