Unhappy Otto

My daughter's mini dachsund, Otto, needs prayers from my animal friends here.
.


Otto started acting strange yesterday. Wouldn't 'climb' like he usually does. But he was running around. Last night in the middle of the night he started crying and wouldn't move so they rushed him to a vet. The vet said she believed he could have a herniated disc but wasn't sure and gave him a morphine shot. Sent them home. This morning he woke up howling and tried to walk, but his back legs just dragged and he stopped.

My daughter just called me on her way to their vet. They are going to do a myelogram? Vet said if it's what she thinks it is, he would need surgery at a minimum of $2500. My son-in-law refuses to pay that kind of money and said they would have to put Otto down.

I'm just sick inside.

Here's Otto with my Bruna.
