I am new to this forum I signed up hoping to get some peace of mind. I just had my 9 week old Dobie ears cropped last Friday. I showed up to pick up my pup (Kobe) the next day. When I got there the doctor met me with concerning news. Telling me that he did not know what was wrong with my pup. He was still very drowsy/ groggy from the anesthesia but vet mentioned he had never seen this type of behavior before usually pups are up and going with in 24 hrs. Which I know by experience. He had Kobe hooked up to IV and mentioned he would run test on him and would keep him under his care at no additional cost he wanted to roll out any internal issues kidney, liver etc.. today Monday I called in the AM to see how he was doing. Dr. Said he was doing better but not fully recovered. He mentioned he was more alert today and had been eating and drinking water but he did not want to stand up. And when they tried to stand him up his back legs gave out. I visited my pup as soon as I could. I brought him food and my lil girls to visit with him Kobe was crying when I got there , I fed him and he ate very well definitely more alert but you could tell he was still out of it. I tried to stand him up but his back left leg looked like it had no strength at this point the dr mentioned that all testing from heart to kidneys, liver , blood , diabetes, etc.. came back good he mentioned that at this point it could be a neurological issue messing with his nerves system although he was better he mentioned there is still a risk of death. He asked to keep him for longer to continue to study him and try to get him healthy and going again. I am concerned my family and I specially my daughters fell in love with Kobe instantly and immediately got attached. We are worried that he will not make it and its seriously a very saddening thought. I keep thinking that maybe the doctor did not use good practice or may have done something wrong during the surgery but this is the same vet that has done all my dogs ears for the past 15 years and Never had an issue. I am coming here to share my story and situation in Hope's that some one can shed some light on what may have possibly happened and for advise on what to do and hopefully a good news story from experience. Thank you all who take the time to read my post and try and help. We love our Kobe and we are praying he comes back home soon
