I'm so sorry to hear your story. I can truly understand the heartache and the tears. We have been told back in June 05' that Jewel is terminal and not to expect her to live past July 05'. It's now February and she is still with us. We contacted a Alternative Veterinarian we found through American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
http://www.holisticvetlist.com/. They have a referral list and what type of training the doctors have. I have to tell you, I am not a huge fan of Western Medicine and I really wanted to get Jewel off the steroids since the side effects were just as bad as her illness. I can not be happier with her new doctor.
Another thing you can do is to go the the FDA website and look up the meds that Scruffy is taking.
But I also believe in the power of healing through positive and happy thoughts. Your Scruffy can sense your sadness and it can depress him so keep a happy tone in your voice. When I need to cry, I try really hard not to around her.
Sorry this ran longer than I intended.
Terriers are tenacious.... So is Scruffy.... So is his Mom...
Keep us updated on your progress in helping him.
