We will be researching some alternative options, however at this time we are following standard protocol-prednisone.
We are very grateful for the 4 years we have had with Rocky. We are not giving up we are loving Rocky, holding him, talking to him and willing him to stay with us as long as he can. Praying for Rocky is what we need from our Yorkietalk friends.  |
Darla - please follow-up with Susan Davis/Dr. Gordon. This does not need to be a death sentence and could still be something else entirely!!!! Prednisone will not do anything to heal his system. Please, please, please start him on a quality probiotic and contact Susan. BleuBoyBarber was told to euthanize Jill immediately as she was diagnosed with very advanced PLE. She did not do this ~ Jill had a plasma transfusion and began supplements and special diet on advisement from Susan/Dr. Gordon and was much better within a week and now almost normal. And, her revised diagnosis was severe IBD, not PLE at all............Sissy was dianogsed with PLE (early stage) last fall. Bloodwork normalized within 4 months of supplements and diet changes. She is doing so well and acting like a pup again!!!!
