Sick Dog Reply Back - Very sick dog - just had puppies three weeks ago! Wont use her tongue to eat?

Question

I had posted a reply earlier this week about my sick female dog. Well to everyone who was concerned with my female dog, my mother saved her life. My mom stopped by after we got back from the vet and mentioned that "oh, atleast she is not limping anymore, they must have fixed her leg." I looked at her dumb founded and then the light bulb came on! Four days before she first started showing signs of being sick, she was limping around on her front leg, well three days later she wasnt babying it anymore so I forgot about it, figured she must have had it stepped on some what lightly since since there were no broken bones or wounds. Anyways I called the vet back and told her about her leg, and she said "thats it she has tetnus!" If you guys get time check out the website: http://www.welbornpet.com/Presentation/Tetanus/tetanus.htm, and you will see exactly what I was explaining about my dog! The university said for her discharge it was too close to her having pups and getting tetnus that......

body is trying to clean itself out of the infection. So we have got her on the right track and are giving her very strong antibiotics and tetanus anti-toxin fluids. So thank you to all and hopefully no other owner has to come to this website with these types of symptoms, but if so I know there are some good people on here to help them out !

Answer 1

Great that you found a solution! Tetanus never even occurred to me. Your link didn't work though - there was an extra comma at the end, but I found it alright after I removed that.

Sorry you got some rude answers from people - I know how hard you were trying to do the right thing to help your dog! Best of luck with her recovery!
