Neck injury and steroids
Oops, guess I should have posted in questions to begin with. My 1 year old CeCe is still down after a 11/2 weeks. She seems to be improving incrementally but is definitely not back to playing in her wild ways.
Our vet thinks that is pulled a neck muscle and put her on steroids. Now I can't tell if the steroids are keeping her down or the injury itself. It is really strange in the way that she is behaving. She is mostly sleeping but will have short bursts of energy during the day. She will run and act as if she wants to play but will not pick up a ball, stick, or even treat. She will start to but finally end up kicking the object around with her feet. I don't know if she is afraid to play or if it actually hurts. She has also been back to having diarrhea which the vet said could happen.
My question is, has anyone dealt with steroids? And/ or neck injuries? I am worried to death and just want my playful puppy back! The only good thing is that I have had the stomach flu and she has been happy to lay by my side and is probably getting the rest she needs for recovery.
