They did an MRI, spinal tap, and blood profile. The MRI showed inflammation in her brain. At this time, they do not know if the cause is viral, bacterial, or sterile inflammation. They seem to be leaning toward Yorkshire Necrotizing Encephalitis, but started her on antibiotics last night in case it is bacterial.
Nothing I read gives me any hope for a positive prognosis, and the vets are reluctant to either.
How is your baby? What was the diagnosis?
I am terrified that we are going to lose her to this condition.... |
I am so sorry that you are going through this. You might want to start your own thread in the Sick Section, b/c this thread is from 2007, I don't know how many responses you will get
