Also, I have tons of instructions to follow and I'd like to get to that later since I'm so tired. However, I do ask for anyone's advice that has a paraplegic dog since Cali does elicit some tendencies of that. Also, here is the medical update:
Muscle biopsies: NEGATIVE! This is good and bad news. As a result of no definitive test, they are giving her a diagnosis of Neuromyotonia by cause of an autoimmune response. They didn't say this but I can't help but wonder if the rabies vaccination started this cascade back in December. Anyway, they will follow up with her in 4 weeks and gave me their email & phone #'s in case I have questions.
On another note, Mia is eating grass now but she was extremely happy to see her sister.
I'm so tired I don't even know what I typed. I am going to update later and hopefully there are some wonderful posters out there that can suggest the best bedding to prevent bedsores and the best "booties" to protect my baby girls knuckles.
THANKS! |
I admit that I have not read through your thread, however I would like to help you with getting some booties for your sweet girl. Please PM me and we will discuss the details.
