Last year at this time, I had a healthy 11 year old boy. This year, first he was diagnosed with Ataxia ( like 2 days after booster shots!). In May, he was diagnosed with renal failure. I have a great holistic vet who's really helped a lot with this. She's taught me how to home cook for him, to keep that creatinine low. About 3 weeks ago, we did blood work again though, and it jumped up from 1 to 2. Now, we're doing daily sub q fluid instead of weekly. He gets blood work done again Dec 2ond. I'm hoping its going down.
In july, I was noticing he was bumping into things a LOT. I took him to an opthomologist. They suspected SARDS, but couldn't confirm it, without a $500 test. Said there is no use in the $500 test if I couldn't take him to Iowa for treatment. I'm like omg....I'm in south Alabama.
Right now, he sleeps a lot. I built a ramp to the bed, but going up it, he's only done a few times. But he will walk down it to do our middle of the night potty.
I have a crate on the bed he sleeps in now, as he's walked off the side of the bed a time or 2. I hate having to crate him, as he's always slept next to me, but I have to keep him safe from walking off the side of the bed.
That is our update. Not good, considering he was very healthy this time last year. I will NOT EVER give him any more boosters.
I'm just glad with all the ER visits, they had a holistic vet there, that opened her own clinic last summer. I can contact her anytime through facebook, and she gets back with me. Day or night. She's wonderful, and so is her tech. Adonis loves both of them, and loves his daily outing there.
