She went back to the vet this morning, and is doing a lot better now. The swelling is down about halfway, and she can put weight on that leg.
Her Mommy is not doing so well, though. After I dropped her off this morning, I headed to ER. I had chest pain and pain radiating down my arm. I was scared.
It turned out, fortunately, that my heart is good and strong. Apparently I have one or more bad discs in my neck that are pressing against a nerve. After spending practically all day at ER, Penny and I are now both home and getting ready to take a nap. Whatever they gave me made me sick as ..... well, sick as a dog.
We're fine. We're just doing our level best to make sure the medical/veterinary economy is prospering.
I'll pick winners this week. Please be patient.

Oooh Vicky I'm so sorry, you've both just been through the days from hell. I'm so glad it wasn't your heart and that Penny is doing better. Rest, be well. ;-> Toni Anne
So sorry you are both ailing, glad your issue was not the heart. Take advantage of this time to rest and be good to yourself..
OMG girl! You have had more than your share of problems in the last couple of days. Hope you are feeling better and that adorable puppy is a whole lot better, too.
Oh my. You are both under the weather. Take care - both of you!

Goodness sakes! Time to rest and relax ... easier said than done, I know.
Oh Vicky...you two girls take care...get some rest. Bless your hearts!
That's scary. Glad your heart is fine. It's probably good that you found out about the disc thing so they can fix you up. You and Penny snuggle up together and get better soon.
Oh my~ you two girls have had a rough couple days! I am so glad it wasn't your heart. Hope you and Penny can get a little rest. (hugs)
So glad you are both better. Hopefully Penny will be much better tomorrow. I hope you will be better also. I know that was a scare for you thinking it was your heart. Take care of yourself.
Take care! So sorry to read that both you and Penny had a bad couple of days.
So sorry to hear you and Penny both are under the weather. Take care and get well soon.
Glad to hear Penny is doing better.
I've never gone thru it, but I've watched others. I think back pain is one of the worst kind of pain out there.
Feel better soon!
I'm glad that Penny is doing much better but you MUST take care of yourself. Rest, rest, rest.
You say the word and I'll be there!
Good girl for getting thyself to the ER!! And I am so glad that you are OK...or will be soon. Hugs!
Hope you both recover quickly!!!
I am so pleased you took yourself to ER, not fun but at least you didn't head into work and hope it would go away! Snuggle up with Penny and try and relax Vicky, if you need me too I can make a soup run!
I hope you and Penny get well soon, take care, debbiequilter
sheesh ... time for the Fates to cut both of you some slack!
Agh! Slow down and rest! Hope you feel better soon.
Oh my gosh... I too went to the ED and spent 3 nights last week in the hospital. I was given something called dilaudid (sp?) and Jane never been so sick or in even more pain from the meds. Good luck and take good care of your self.
So sorry to hear about you and Penny. Dachsunds and their backs can be very tricky, as can we! I hope both of you feel better very soon. No jumping for either of you!
You poor thing! You just get your back almost sorted out and now the arm… Well, it's good that it's not your heart but it can't be too comfortable for you. :(
I'm sending you healing thoughts (both of you).
I did that once. Spent 4 hours at the er to have the doctor ask if I'd consider seeing a chiropractor! Started regular massage therapy right after that.
I'm so glad you two are okay! Scary stuff. Hopefully you've reached your quota for scary for the year and the rest of it will be smooth sailing!
Glad to hear that both of you are on the mend. Hope you are both back to normal soon.
Hope you both are feeling better soon. A nice day of rest and healing is just what you both need. Best wishes.
Give Penny, and yourself, a big hug. Get well soon!
Oh goodness! What a time the two of you are having. Feel better.
Oh goodness, do take care. Glad to hear Penny is on the mend and that your ticker is in good shape!
Oh, poor you and Penny! We have a female doxie just like Penny, except she'll be 9 in June and I hate it when she's hurting....you both need many naps and get better soon!
Vicy, that really sucketh! Please take care of yourself and Penny. Hope you are both feeling better very soon.
It's no fun to spend the day at the ER when they think you have heart problems.
Take the time you need to look after yourself and Penny.
Omigosh! Sick pet and scared owner--not a good combo. Glad your heart checked out fine and Penny is better. Whew, what a week already!
Hope you and Penny are both feeling better by now. Happy Valentines Day to you both!
Vicky, look after yourself,Penny needs you as much as you need her.
Sending healing thoughts your way.
Hope you are feeling better..both of you....
