Puppy Pictures Prayers needed

Anna_Banana

I'll be sure to check back with you, I'm curious at what they say. I think its strange that a concussion would keep him from walking this long. Hopefully he'll be walking before Thurs! Poor baby!

I think that there is swelling in his spinal cord and that puts pressure on the nerves, and that's why he can't walk. I think (hope) when all the swelling is gone he will be able to walk again.

Update. Puppy (we haven't came up with a good name yet) was feeling pretty good last night. When he would see mom or his litter mates he would make a pretty good attempt at walking. He was pretty shakey and could only go a few steps, but it's better than before. Also he is now able to roll from his side to his tummy. Before if he would get rolled on to his side it was almost like he was peralized, His whole body would just completely freeze up and he would open his eyes really wide like he was scared. Now he can wiggle around and get roll over. So we put him in with his brother and sister last night and I left him with them today. I think it's better for him because when he has to "go" he will scoot over to the piddle pad then back to his blanket. Also he will scoot over to the food and back. This is a huge improvement. So we do have hope.

thank you everyone for your prayers!

Update. Puppy (we haven't came up with a good name yet)

I think you should call him "Will" because he seems to have a real strong will to live!!! Just a thought. My prayers are there for the little guy!

That would be good. But we would have to make it Willy, bc I have a thing with all pet names should end in a vowel sound. I read once that they respond better to that. My son wants to name him Larry:noway: , but right now we are open to suggestions.

yay! I'm so glad everyday brings more improvement! Thanks for keeping us updated!!! My tiny Yorkie is named Sir Charles Barkley! Of course we call him Barkley(he barks alot!) My other yorkie, in my picture is Dixie Ray, and I have a shih poo name Rudi Roo! My cats name is Quesedilla! :laugh:
I like interesting names! how bout Sully? :happy:

Anna_Banana

Sully is good. We have 3 kids so it's hard to get every one to agree.

We have had so many dogs/pets that we tend to run low on names.

Dogs we've had (this is since I was a kid, some times we have up to 4 or 5 dogs at a time)
Sugar, Sparky, Lucky, Tramp, Buddy, Petey (he had a big name but I don't remember it all), Blacky, Daisey, Sally, Shelly, Jackey, Rosco, Lola, Tiny Titan Tye (Tye), Anna's Foxy Little Roxy (Roxy), Anna's Phat Mercedes (Sadie), Anna's Little Madison (Madie), Anna's Little Tiger Lilly (Lilly), Anna's Naughty Little Nicky (Nicky). We use to breed Yorkies that's why all the long names have Anna's Little in them.

Horses (most of this wouldn't be a good name for a dog, but I thought I would list them)
Flicka, Magic, Dusty, Cinnomon, Rosey, Trigger, Cowboy, Pepper, Toby, Sisco, Poncho, Scotch, Blondy, Toby, Dollar, River, Doodle, Eddie (donkey), Mistique, Patriot, JR

Oohh! Animal names. For dogs I've had Daisy, Scruffy, Minnie, Onna (don't ask. we didn't name her), Haas, Gina & Floyd. My cats have been Tigger, Bambi, Chloe, Mike The Cat, Otis & Lucy.

What about Troy for your puppy, Anna? Troy Aikman has had his fair share of head injuries & he's doing okay.

I'm so glad that puppy boy is doing better right now!

Anna_Banana

Cute. I forgot Chevy she was such a sweet pup we had before we got married. She was staying with my mom and got ran over

We have too many cats to name. We live on a farm and they just tend to multiply like crazy. Anybody need some cats?

Oh! Poor Chevy. :frown: Onna was actually run over by my mom in our driveway. Dumbest dog I've ever met. This was about 11 years ago & my poor mom still feels horrible about it.

Yeah we won't even go into registered names on horses. Sometimes we call them by the reg. names or some part of it. Like Doodle is HancockaDoodle Doo. But Sometimes we don't Dollar was called Dollar by the people before us had him and we just ended up calling him that. His real name is Zan Pat Two. And Sisco and Poncho had some real goofy names and we had bought them at the same time so my friend suggested Poncho and Sisco.

I forgot about a horse we had called Franky. She was attacked by a Germanshepard when she was a baby and we rescued her. She should have been put down, but the owner had had a vet out to stitch her up. All of the ribs on one side of her had been crushed and a punctured lung, and she would never completely heal. Franky was short for Frankinstein (although Frankinstein was the doctor not the name of the monster). She still had a bunch of stitches in her when we got her and it seemed fitting.

I left him with his brother and sister all day yesterday and he did fine.

He really perks up when we walk into the room, but he can't wag his tail. And his walking in improving. He can now walk about 4 body lengths, but he is very shakey still when walking.

I'm soo glad he's getting stronger.
I have 2 dogs, and would be heartbroken if anything happened to either of them.
Mine are Storm & Shadow - Shadow thinks Storom is her mom, so follows her everywhere, and when we got her she was a dusty grey/brown colour - like a shadow, so hence the name.
storm - well, she runs up and down stairs like lightening :laugh:
Previously, one of my dogs was called Lottie - cos it was a lottery whether she'd pull through after she was born, she was the runt of the litter, and her mom refused to feed her - she pulled through despite everyone thinking she wouldn't.
