Pomeranian and head trauma
I'm looking for some anecdotal responses concerning compressed discs or head/spine injuries. Our Pom was riding shotgun laying down and my wife had to stop abruptly at low speed and he went head first into the dash. Immediately went to vet where he is on Manitol for swelling. Symptoms are weak legs and won't stand, though they will move and he responds to a small pain test. He is responsive and tired, but in good spirits I think. This morning, he got his front legs up underneath of him, and his back legs do that dog kicking thing when you scratch the right spot. No pain noticeable. They can give him steroids or NSAIDS if necessary, but the gold standard is an MRI and or surgery. He is 10 years old and probably doesn't have too much left time left for a $6K procedure. We are hoping he recovers on his own. Has anyone gone through anything similar with their dog? We are heartbroken. Thanks.
