My Frenchie has an open PYO. The ER said they can do the emergency surgery for 3,000-5,000 or they can give antibiotics and for me to call my vet tomorrow to see if they can do a spay. I really do not know what to do.

I had our Doberman to the vet a week ago Thursday. We are not sure what is going on with her. She shakes, cries out, and paces all the time. The vet said maybe it is a pinched nerve and we could try pain meds first. I noticed today she is now dragging her two front paws and is still pacing. I don’t know if we should go to the ER?

Krista Magnifico Hello,
If your dog is eating and drinking and eliminating normally then it can probably wait until tomorrow. I would worry about wobblers. There is lots of info online about it. Please call the vet tomorrow to be seen ASAP. If your dog is panting or unable to rest then the Er is best. Please let us know what happens. -
Laura I agree with Dr. M – wobblers or a disc issue would be my immediate concerns.

Shelley DeVeau Post author So I called the vet this morning and they told me to take her to the ER. We just got the info that she has a ruptured disc. Now I need to figure out what is the best decision to make. Are MRI’s cheaper different places? The cost of that would be $2000 and the surgery would be 7 to 8000.

Krista Magnifico Hello.
That’s about the cost of it. Where are you? I have lots and lots of info on my blog and YouTube channel on this disease. I with you the very best. -
Shelley DeVeau Post author Dr Magnifico this is Shelley Reese (Doberman)and Twister’s (Frenchie) owner. You took care of Reese’s leg back in Sept when she had that growth on it. They said you were not in today and said they would leave you a message because I asked if you did those surgeries?
Hello,
Your dog should be spayed as soon as possible. Whether you do it there or wait to be seen at your vets is a matter of financial ability and the vets availability. The jarrettsville vet clinic staff is split into teams to try to remain socially distanced during covid. I am not working tomorrow and I am not sure we have enough staff or time available to do the surgery. If it is not possible to have it done at the ER call jvc in the morning and ask them to call me and we will figure out something. If the ER thinks she needs to be spayed ASAP have her spayed there if you are able.
Best of luck. I hope everything works out ok
