UPDATE: I spoke with Katelyn this morning and Dr. Ortinau this afternoon. Basically Cali's condition is unchanged so they are trying to wean her from the IV meds...that way she can be on PO meds. Hopefully she'll transition fine. She is still having stiff, rigid hind legs with tremors at times and Dr. Ortinau said her front legs aren't completely normal either although they aren't nearly like her hind legs. She thinks one of 2 things: infectious agent or autoimmune. The titers may come back tomorrow but she says biopsy results take a while (I hope no later than Friday). I asked if she could have a cervical issue with her spine and Dr. Ortinau said it would be highly unlikely. So we are just in limbo right now. We are going to see her Friday...can't wait!!! I so miss her. I'm lining up a pup-sitter for Mia cause the travel was hard on her.
Thanks for the support and more updates to come...
