Thinking of you guys today, and hoping things are going well :hearts:

[Lisa]

Pogo is going in for emergency surgery today. I know there are lots more details, but I can't remember them. :sosad:

It is amazing how fast he deteriorated from 6:30 this morning to when I left him at 11:00. He can wag his tail which they said is good. And they give him 90% chance of being a-ok.

I'm a total wreck. But I'm trying to be strong and positive.

[Michelle]

:holyshp: :holyshp: :holyshp: Tons of :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: for Pogo!!!!!! Keep us updated!!!!! :hug99: :hug99:

Oh hell.. My first time on today... :sosad: Many thoughts and :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: comin' your way!! :hug99: :hug99: :hug99: :hug99:

[Rafi]

Thank you all for the :bigrayz:'s it is much appreciated.

For those wondering, what happened to Pogo came as a total surprise. I'm always watching the whole crew for general health, when I hold them, I run my hand along their backs, feet, chest, ears, I'm always checking to make sure they are in good shape, even their poop to catch any hint of signs of anything.

Last night there were no signs of any problem, Pogo was even wagging he's tail before saying good night before bed time.

This morning, when I let the crew out to potty, he didn't come which was odd. I picked him up and took him outside and he peed, but was walking a bit funny, I gave him a couple of pieces of kibble and he ate them.

My Gut feeling knew what the problem was, so I let Lisa know what was going on and recommended she head over to the 24 hour E-Vet right away. I unfortunately had to leave for work, the timing is bad, since situation at work is not great and I don't want to give them any excuses.

Lisa gave me an update and confirmed what I already felt the answer would be. It was not easy being at work and leaving Lisa to do everything by herself. I'm very proud of her, she did an outstanding job, getting to the E-Vet, then going to Guelph and getting Pogo setup for surgery.

We haven't heard back from the Surgeon yet, but were optimistic that we reacted quick enough for a good recovery.

We will keep you posted as soon as we hear anything.

[lotsadox]

Thanks for the update, Rafi. When Bandit went down it was the same thing. She seemed fine at bedtime and when I got up the next morning, she couldn't walk. :holyshp:

Since Lisa got him to the vet so quickly, I'm betting on a good outcome. Also, Pogo is a well cared for healthy dog which will make the recovery so much easier.

Sending :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: and :hug99: :hug99: :hug99:

[oceangirls]

I think sometimes there is no warning when a disc ruptures suddenly. What a stressful day for you both :faint:

Sometimes I think these little long dogs really aren't engineered very well; this just happens too often :(. But I can't imagine not having doxies around.

Continued rayz :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz:

[Barb]

Thanks Rafi, for the excellent report. I know that you got him there in record time and that is a huge plus. We will all be waiting for the next report - big time :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: for Pogo and good thoughts for mom and dad - I know it has been a loooong day for both of you.

[Yolanda]

Sometimes we never know the why. Do not beat youself up on this nor let Lisa do so either. You are both fantistic furkid parents.

Join DodgersList they are a great rescource. They also have yahoo chat board that is fantistic. http://www.dodgerslist.com

Always think positive and never give up. If you and Lisa are depressed aroung Pogo he can and will sense it.


A lot of us have gone through back surgery with our own, including my very own Phoenix. We all are here for you.

Lots more :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz:
