Jake's in Trouble

Jake couldn't get up off the floor for dinner tonight and when I picked him up he was limp. He cannot support himself on either his front or hind legs and even his body falls against me when I lift him. It's like he is quadriplegic. I'm wondering if he's had a stroke or suffering some effects of his heart problems. He is not on any medications, has had no access to anything poisonous, etc. I have a vet appointment tomorrow morning for Gooey and will take Jake along also. Please send your positive thoughts.

I will keep my fingers cross that it is something temporary and easy to deal with.

Poor Jake, I'll be thinking of him.

Prayers coming at the speed of light.

Oh no... I will pray for Jake tonight. he's such a plucky lil' guy.

Crossed fingers for tomorrow...

Oh no. Poor Jake. Sending good vibes across the Pond to you.

Keeping everything crossed for Jake.

Good thoughts out to you and much hope for Jake. Let us know.

I'll add Jake to my prayers. I hope this morning Jake is doing better.

Sending prayers to you and Jake.

Thanks, everyone. Jake's no better this morning. He did sleep last night, in a dog-bed in Big Bed beside me and was anxious for his breakfast this morning (he had no supper last night). I hand fed him breakfast slop which he wolfed down, but it's hard for him because I'm not sure he can really feel his tongue and it seems to be off to the right side. He can't drink water, even if I put the bowl under his chin but he enjoyed some crushed ice cubes I hand fed him. He starts to bark if I'm out of sight for 10 seconds. I am concerned that he hasn't had a pee since yesterday mid-day, even when I tried to push his bladder (difficult with one hand when you're holding a limp dog in the other). DH is away until this evening but we've talked about it this morning and I will abide by what the vet says as far as whether to bring Jake home or not. My heart is breaking but he can't carry on if there's no hope of improvement. Thanks for your well wishes. They help.

I'm so sorry, prayers for you and Jake.

This is just heart breaking. I hope that the vet can give you some insight and guidance today. Pug hugs.
