I’m just wondering if your baby made a full recovery or if it only continued to worsen?
Any help/suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you! |
That is not something anyone could really predict. I think it is wonderful that the prednisone is helping. Hopefully your baby will have much more time left! All I can say is enjoy each day....
I have two siblings who will be 15 in June. Last March they both were poisoned by dog food (long story) but ended up in stage 3 renal failure and were not predicted to survive more than a few days to a month because they didn't respond to fluids, etc. They have not only survived but are doing quite well even though their numbers are still off. My vet calls it remarkable. I think you have to just treat the dogs, not the numbers....and I always think of that commercial for the cancer center that says we are not born with an exp date on our foot....Our beloved furbabies don't have one stamped on a paw.
My best wishes to you and your pup!
