Jacs0517 I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my beloved Teddy to this horrible disease last year and I am still so devastated by the loss. I also tried everything to save him and spent $16000 the last few months of his life. I was taking him to a specialist also. I am sorry all of you have to go through this. As for the diet, they had me hire a top veterinary nutritionist who told me he could have no dog food whatsoever. She said that even the low fat dog foods had too much fat for his body to handle. I did catch his early and I had him on a special home made diet. I did everything I could possibly do but it wasn't enough. The specialist hospital was 2 hours away and when he took a turn for the worst very early in the morning I was hysterical that I wouldn't get there in time to see him again. Thankfully I was able to be with him and he died very peacefully in my arms. I will miss him for the rest of my life.
Please try to be as informed as possible. I learned that a lot of vets, even the top ones, don't know a lot about this disease. I wish you all the best and many long years with your babies. |
