Apparently, the medication treatments for both are the same, but the diets are different. Thank you everyone for your prayers. I am so grateful to have Yorkie Talk and all the support and knowledge on this board. |
Yes, I am very fortunate; but I have seen others do well so keep thinking positive! After I posted her story, I had a couple of people tell me about their pups who also did well so it really helped and encouraged me.
The big factor with them is getting them to eat at all...often they are so sick at the time of diagnosis and don't want anything to do with food.
I will keep you and your little one in my thoughts and prayers. He is lucky to have a family that is giving him the very best of care!
