UPDATE: I just spoke with Katelyn and she said Cali's neuro assessment is unchanged. I asked again about spine issues and she said that she doesn't present like a dog with any spine issues and that all of her cranial nerves are intact. When they do her spine assessment, there is nothing that feels wrong or is painful to her when they push. Basically, everything is normal with the exception of her muscles in her legs being rigid. They are still stumped and will continue supportive care but are weaning her off the IV fluids and Valium drip...since she is eating & drinking. They will give the Valium as a PO med. Katelyn says she wags her little nub when she walks by her cage and she is getting plenty of attention. She completely urinates and defacates on her own. If the muscle biopsy/titers come back with no answers, I'll definitely be asking for a CT/MRI to make sure it isn't her spine but all her discs seem to be in place.
Please continue to pray that this is a temporary condition and I do appreciate all of you! Thank you so much!!!
