I'm familiar with the school because of their fish vets, but the tour I took one weekend indicates that the staff for furbabies is MUCH more entailed. They have equipment I have no idea the use of!
I'm sure they'd love her story. If nothing else, get a bunch of really cute sweaters and keep her dressed like a Chinese Crested! |
I actually did ask my vet about sending her to Chapel Hill or Raleigh for an evaluation. He said that he's seen other tinys like Bug before, and has referred them to teaching hospitals for evaluation, and that each time it has come back as a problem with malabsorbtion. He says the key is that all of her blood work comes back normal and her heart is strong, so that rules out pretty much everything other than digestion.
He did say that if the Prozyme doesn't help, he is always happy to make a referral. But he also reminded me that this may just be the way she is going to be, and that putting her through evaluation after evaluation when all of her vitals are saying she's healthy is kinda twisted.
That's why I'm hoping that maybe someone who's managed to get hair and weight back on a tiny in the past might see this and say, "oh yeah, you gotta get her some [insert holistic suppliment here].... that stuff is like a miracle in a bottle!"
