I am so sad and feel so bad and wish I could do something for uou and Sushi. How old is Sushi? Do they know what causes this? Did it coincide with a recent vaccination by any chance? Just curious. It is possible that Sushi's diagnosis may allow the rest of us to become educated enough about the disease to maybe be able to prevent another dog from suffering the same fate. Can it be prevented?
I will ask my vet if he knows anything about it and let you know what he says.
My thoughts are with you.
