I'm thinking I will stick with the chicken broth or he will stink! LOL. They did not want to try acidifying the urine because it can cause dogs to form calcium oxalates and yorkies are prone to calcium oxalate bladder stones.
So for now it looks like Teddy is just an epileptic with a tremor disorder and struvite crystals. Of course I would like him to have none of these but there are so many worse things that could be as I read about here on YT. So we will be able to manage him and things should be good from here I hope.
Thanks to all the thoughts and prayers for Teddy, they definitely worked !! |
Cathy, I am happy that his conditions can be managed by you at home and with medication. I am sorry Teddy has all this stuff going on, but hopefully he will respond well and be good as new. Been thinking of you all day.....sending well wishes to Teddy and big hugs to Mommy!
