Just a quick update on Cricket. It's not liver shunt. The acid bile test was well within the normal range. It's within her brain and nervous system. I can't remember the medical term because I am so upset. I ask if there was anything that we could do or if he felt euthanisa was the only option and he said no. That there is a medication that he wants to try first to see if she can be medically treated for first. He also said we could go to another hospital and see a neurologist for a MRI but he suggested we try this medication first. At this point she isn't having seizures or hasn't lost her eyesight and he feels this option is worth a try. She is not in any pain and isn't suffering at this point so I am on my way to pick her up. I promise you that I will not let her suffer and will do whatever I can to get her over this. Pray really hard that this medication works. I will keep in touch on her progress.
I owned a yorkie about 5 years ago and he died of old age. It has taken me this long to get another one and this heartbreak is just killing me once again. I have too much love to give not to be able to give my all to Cricket.
