Please say ome prayers for my precious baby-boy dog, Brindle...I'm waiting for a quick toast snack and slamming a beer, yah I know it's wrong and illegal to drink a beer and then DRIVE but you probably would, too, I hardly drink ever and can barely restrain myself from slamming down a few shots of...vodka, something, though I don't even ever buy liquor.
I am about to rushing Brindle down to Fountain Valley to a dog neurologist. I just got back from the 24 hour vet's office to grab on overnight bag. He's only 3 1/2 years old, but I found him lying outside this evening on the back porch, unable to move his back legs and apparently in shock. Tarah and Alex came over and we managed to get him onto a sleeping bag (he weighs 100 lbs) and into the back of the car....the emergency vet in Indio has diagnosed him with some kind of neurological problem, possibly a slipped hernia, maybe a hereditary thing....
this is so UNREAL, it's 1:26 a.m. and we just got back from that vet's office and the vet in Fountain Valley, a 2 hour drive, is the only place that can treat him. He needs an MRI and further diagnosis and possibly surgery. The vet here gave him a pain shot, and I'm crying my eyes out, sorry for the shitty cliche but this is my BABY and my BOY and just tonight, earlier he was cheering up me and Tarah with antics and couch-hugs, and earlier this a.m. I awoke on my couch to see him on the other couch, claiming his sleep-in and giving me a big wagful of tail....this dog has the most love and sweetness and joy of any dog I've ever known.....
he was even wagging his tail earlier tonight and in so much pain. I am beside myself. Please think good thoughts for my Brindie-Boy. Thank you...will try to keep you posted. Gotta go.
I hope he turns out OK. I know how much you care for him, and I'm sure he'd tell you the same if he could.
