So I am just now being able to work this website so I could even find my post to reply to any of you.. Lady Jane I did respond to your pm just now..
What I am feeding her is to detox her liver as best we can and get rid of toxins.. I am having her retested in 3 months, sooner if she shows symptoms...
What I am trying to explain is that she does not do this often.. It is only once in awhile with the walking about the house with the drooling.
When I say that my vet is to "vetty" what I mean is that he does not talk in laymens terms and I need things to be explained to me in a way that I understand them...
That goes for here too, and Im sorry if Im being forward but I do feel a little bit attacked.. I understand that you all are trying to help but telling me to give her away is not helping. You do not understand.. I have been very upset over this and do not have the resources for surgery and I can NOT get on care credit as I have just went thro a bankruptcy and Ive tried twice now to get on care credit and they have declined me twice..
It is not helping to be told that she is going to die and that she is this sick pup when I do not understand the process and thats all thats being said. No one is explaining the why or what the numbers should be... Ive searched and searched and cannot find what the numbers ought to be anywhere...
The nutrionalist I am using is a BOARD CERTIFIED nutrionalist... So saying she doenst know what she is talking about is not accurate.. She does know what she is talking about.. She is NOT saying that by diet alone that this will be a miracle cure. what she is saying is to safely try to get Laylah's numbers down - never once did she say that by diet alone would this cure Laylah.. As far as the "raw" diet... No I did not say I am giving her raw meat or raw chicken or raw vegetables..
Besides a good diet, I am giving her goats milk, I am giving her Denamarin that the vet gave to me and I do have a script for Kempra that I wanted to hold off on to see how she does without poisoning her liver with even more medicines..
Additionally my vet has said that he himself has JUST came out of vet school and that he's not had a chance yet to work with a dog with a liver shunt IF that is in fact what it is... Im not 100% on board with this without knowing what the numbers OUGHT to be with a healthy Yorkie.. I am currently looking for another vet asap with a bit more knowledge that doesnt sound like he is trying to be a world class brain surgeon..
Lastly, my daughter IS a Physicians Assistant and she has explained how the process works with the human body and has dumbed down her speech so that I can partially understand what the heck is going on here.. Laylah does not have the classic symptoms of a liver shunt. Her numbers are high, yes, but I do not know what the numbers should be.. Ive read a couple posts here on other ppls Yorkies that have just as high as she does and their dogs are thriving by God's grace..
So please, and I beg you ... DO NOT make me feel worse than what I already do and reading some of these posts, while I know you are trying to be helpful, does not sound very helpful... And I say that while writing to you all thro tears...
So with that said.. If no one has anything kind to say, or helpful, or useful.. Then please PLEASE I beg you NOT to post something!!
I certainly do not need snide comments, or hurtful comments... What I need is help understanding so I CAN get her the right help...
Thank you very much and sorry if I upset any of you by my own comments.. As I said I am writing to you all thro tears..
Laylah has been absolutely fine near a month and half without any episodes whatsoever.. I could see this type of talk to me if she was doing this every day.. She isnt acting this way every day..
It is very hard to believe that she is as sick as you say when she is a very happy, playful and loving little girl.. |
