Thanks. I have had her seen by 2 vets that know her, one real well and that's the one we are seeing again tomorrow. She was also seen by the ER vet who couldn't figure out what was going on. He did Xrays and everything looked ok as far as her LP, her spine and no apparent bladder stones. He was stumped too. Pixie does have bead teeth and gums and I want the vet to really check her mouth out since she is not eating hard treats, will eat her soft food and some hard kibble. Pixie is extremely easy to exam. She lets you do anything do her mouth and anywhere else. I am going to buy some soft treats and see if she eats them. If she does I am leaning to a possible mouth issue.
I really wanted her regular vet to see her again so that'w why we can't get in until tomorrow. She knows Pixie is a little quirky and that I am in tune my dogs and would not think I am crazy. She is resting comfortably right now since she has had the Tramadol and Metacam. My vet has given me the Ok to use both of these on her since she had the shoulder bursitis in her front shoulder. That is another thing she can check out as she is the one who first diagnosed her. I will try a neurologist next. She is on a lower protein lower fat food becasue she is overweight and I keep them all on the same food and Cali needs a lower protein diet due to her MVD. I may need to switch Pixie to a higher protein food. Thanks for the support and possible ideas. It helps to get thoughts on what it could be so I can run it by the vet. I have a list of all her symptoms so I don't forget them. |
