Diagnosis of my Yorkies condition

18 15:16:49

Question
My 14 yr. old Yorkie, 6 lbs., was sedated with ketamine and valium for a routine dental cleaning on Monday.  The vet did test for any kidney or liver failure ahead of time and all was fine.  When we went to pick him up, he was listless and could not walk.  He still could not walk the next morning but did not have a head tilt.  My vet seems to think it isn't a reaction to the sedation any longer since that probably got metabolized after 2 days.  Now he is thinking possibly a pinched nerve from squiriming during the sedation process or vestibular disease.  He is giving him antiinflammatories and my dog is making slow progress.  Getting him excited like a drive in the car seems to almost totally cure him (adrenaline rush?)    What do you think is wrong with him and how long will it take to get better?  The vet and I have decided to put him down after two weeks if he doesn't continue to show good improvement.  I don't want to be premature or prolong the inevitable.

Answer
Oh No... Poor little Yorkie!  He had good labs from the blood work.
I bet there was quite a Fight to get him sedated.  Yes, he most likely pulled something or has some internal bruising.  Don't put him down...

Also, a side note:  I don't like doing the ultrasonic cleaning on a dog this old. Too many things can go wrong like this. I wish the vet had not advised you to do this.
( but, what is done is done, right?)

Ok, lets get this boy on some NuJOINT plus - YOU will need to call Joan tomorrow and get a bottle sent to you - They will get it over to you in 2-4 business Days.  NuJoint plus helps with joint problems and other structure problems ( arthritis).... I bet your boy could even have a pinched nerve from the " fight ".  
He is only 6 pounds and someone may have not realized the pressure they were placing on his little body.  I am sure they did not mean to hurt the little guy.

NuJoint Plus is all Natural and Safe - NOT sold in stores / Just thru breeders, kennels and vets...
Joan is at 1-800-474-7044 Ext 265 /// Tell here order code 81098 //
Marie from The Doggie Chalet Hotel and All experts sent you.
Tell her about your little boy.  Joan will be there M-F from 8-4 California Time zone.
Also, ask her about the NuVET Plus supplement...NuVET is an Immune System Booster and healer.. NuVET and NuJoint Plus will not interfer with the drugs your vet has ordered... This is very safe and Natural.
Shouldn't cost you more than 1.50 per day for your baby to be on both products.

Also, buy some Turmeric - here is a link to what this herb does for pain and inflammation...Try to find the smallest dose possible. Or you can give him 1/4 of an adult dosage.
Again, this is safe ,too!

After you gather everything, give me an e-mail / let me know how he is doing.  You should see results in less than 2 weeks.

OK,
????
