2 weeks ago Tess got herself in a pickle that resulted in head trauma...
First I called Richie in a panic... and he calmed me down enough to get me to call the vet and see what they said. Then I called the vet to describe her symptoms and get his advice on what I should do... he told me there were really only 2 options: 1.) There really wasn't much they could do for her other than put her on fluids and anti-inflammatories or 2.) Put her down...
I wrapped her in a blanket to keep her warm anhelp with the shock then carried her to the house, holding back tears.
I called Richie back to let him know what the vet said and make a decision. Based on her symptoms, what the vet advised we decided to go ahead and put her down.
While I was waiting for Richie to rush home, I gave her a shot of some strong NSAIDs we happened to have on hand for livestock, to give her some relief; and cradled her while crying my little heart out. I was upset, Tess is my baby. She was the first puppy of ours that I kept by my side 24/7. She's always had a big peice of my heart, because she's loves so big. She's spoiled rotten and it broke my heart that she was hurting.
By the time Richie got home some of her severe symptoms had calmed down some. So, we decided to change out minds, not put her down, and just see if she would make it thru the night with any kind of improvement.
I'm no expert, but I know enough to know that head trauma is a tricky thing. Even if the trauma is survived the quality of life may or may not be the same. Things that the vet mentioned were incontinence, being paralyzed, and coherency. The damage to the brain and/or whether or not there is bleeding are all factors.
Well, she did survive the night! She laid on the couch, wrapped in her blanket, and didn't move a muscle, other than to open her eyes a couple of times. The next day she still wasn't moving, but would take liquids out of a syringe and perk her ears up if you talked to her.... So we kept her on liquids,
