Keeping you and Alex in my prayers... |
I will definitely mention his diet to the doctor. I've requested full bloodwork, thyroid panel, etc. Will those tests indicate any liver problems?
Thank you for the prayers. My little man & I need them right now.

It was not good; I'm not going to lie. We tried the Anipryl but it did nothing. He lost all his housetraining and slept all the time. I don't think he even knew we were home unless we touched him.
I hope you have better days ahead. |
I'm so sorry about your sweet little maltese. He too sounds a lot like Alexander with similar problems. Thank you for your kind words.
