Shes gone :( please say a prayer for Chloe-update 6/22

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our precious dog, Chloe. She came into our lives and left paw prints on our hearts. She was the most amazing dog. Chloe was loved by everyone who met her. We love her so much and miss her greatly. Rest in peace my love, my first baby, Chloe.

My precious 4 1/2 year old beagle isnt doing very well. Chat Icon
Yesterday we noticed her hiding and wouldn't come out from under the bed. when she did her hind legs were limping. She had got the same thing last year and was treated with steroid and med to take home. today her front legs gave out. Her legs are very stiff. We took her to emergency vet-they think its something neurological. They gave her a shot and medicine and we took her home. with her now, sleeping (or trying to) right next to her.
I cant imagine what happened to her. She was just fine the other day. my poor baby.
Please say a prayer for her. Chat Icon

update: we took her to her vet and he wants to keep her there give her fluids, medicine, etc. to see how she responds before we make any big decisions.
this is heartbreaking. I gave her a big kiss before I left her. We can visit her there. please keep her in your prayers.

update- 6/19
We went to visit her this afternoon. When we called on the phone they said no change and she had stopped eating. we prepared for the worst. When we got there she didnt look as bad as the other day but she is still paralyzed in all legs. The vet thinks she has a fighting chance. It has given us some hope. He insist we take her to the neurologist at the emergency place in west babylon (anyone have any experience with that place on sunrise by dpa-we took her there the other night). I know they are going to want to give her an mri and the price is just something way more than we can afford. I feel absolutely horrible but a few hundred dollars vs thousands where we may get no where is very hard strain on us.
I just dont know what to do.
Please cont with the prayers for my baby.
Thank you all Chat Icon

i should add that i gave her frontline last week. i wonder if there is a connection. i googled and theres a few stories of
paralysis but vets say no connection.

update 6/20
we took her to see neurologist. She thinks its cervical spine herniation or spinal stroke.
She suggested mri and surgery.
As a conservative approach-cont on her medications and she added a vitamin and physical therapy. which she will get when shes at the vet stay.
I am unable to care for her since I cant pick her up. I was in a car accident and have a cervical herniation myself which has affected my right arm (as well as lower back pain and problems). I am actually going to see the neurologist for myself tomorrow. I am going to look into the place that Jess recomended and see what they think.

here is the medicine that she is currently on:
Prednisone(steriod), Oxstrin (the new antioxidant pill that helps the recovery of injured tissues) Tramadol and Gabapentin (for pain)

6/21-no change.. Chat Icon

final update 6/22
My poor baby crashed. I had a mothers intuition . I knew it wasnt just a herniated disc. She had a very bad past 2 days and it was time to say goodbye. It was one of the hardest things to see her go through. we stayed there with her until the end. She went so peacefully. May she be able to run, dig holes, eat bones and treats in doggy heaven.
