Prayers needed

Prayers are needed for my dog, Sparky. He has suffered an injury and can't walk with his back two legs. We have to keep him in his cage for 7-10 days to see if he can heal. If he can't, he may never be able to use his back legs again. He can't go to the bathroom, and that is a major concern. Please pray that he gets better and that we don't have to put him down...

Can you get one of those "dog wheel chairs" that hold the 2 hind legs up and roll on wheels?
Good luck.

Sadness takes many forms...one of them is an animal struggling to recover from an illness or accident. We too hope Sparky recovers and can have a normal life.

I'm so sorry to hear about Sparky! My mom has a Broder Collie named Sparky and he is the sweetest thing. It's really difficult emotionally when and animal or a small child is injured or ill because you don't know what is bothering them - they can't communicate verbally to you. I'm sure that he feels your love and concern and it is helping him to heal because of it.
He is definately in my prayers! Keep us informed!

This is also something to consider..If his legs don't heal they do make doggie wheelchairs that suspend the back legs off the ground by two wheels and a platform..it may require some training in rare instances but most just get into it and instinct takes over..Contact your vet to see if this is an option. I saw this on ANIMAL PLANET and it worked for several dogs..Good LUCK BUD!!!!

ny I am so very sorry to hear about your loss.
Losing a pet is really like losing a member of the family. I pray the Lord would give you peace in your heart, and comfort you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear that nystate.
Maybe you should reconsider giving away your other dog though. It is tough to deal with when a pet passes away, but you may feel guilty later on about not having the other one around.
