Sorry everyone, been away from the computer and didn't realize anyone had posted recently. Emergency clinic visit is tomorrow morning, it's 3:45am here and as you can see I can't sleep. I'm going to print down all the possible reasons for this situation... no, he doesn't rest his head on anything.
We did give him two days of Prednisone, and will tell the vet tomorrow. My breeder just scared me so much that I worried if we didn't and something happened I wouldn't live with myself. So the DR can decide if he should stay on it, or not – I just hope we haven’t done any more harm.
We are seeing the Internal Med Specialist tomorrow, and I don't know if he will suggest the Neurologist. The Internal Med Specialist is the same one that we saw for my late Oscar, so knowing how much I spent on him (10K) I am hoping he doesn’t just send him for every test in the book.
My breeder had a client whose dog had the same symptoms, and when they were put on Prednisone they got better. I believe she said it was encephalitis; however, her vet thought it was a leg issue and operated. She has been breeding yorkies for 12 plus years, and was taking the shunt very seriously – she has never had a case.
Well I am going to try to get a few hours of sleep, as my munchkins just came out to see where I was... so I should go climb back in bed with them. |
