 Thanks for telling me that
We are still not sure what's going on. The status is that I've taken him back to the breeder and she's taking care of him. The logic behind it was that she has his brother and sister and mom, and we thought maybe he would be motivated by them? He does seem to be making more improvements than he was here. I get to go visit him finally tomorrow... we left him there on Sat. last week, and tomorrow is Friday. It's been a long week, but Jeanie has been awesome to email me twice daily with updates and photos. We were waiting for him to gain some strength before we did the bloodwork, as he seemed so weakened. I hope to talk with her about it tomorrow. If changing his diet would help, I'd be glad to do that. But if he has a liver shunt (gasp), my hubby, though he loves him, feels we should leave him with Jeanie. We just don't have the funds for surgery. But I know he'd be in good hands with her, and she'd do everything in her power to make him better. I'm hoping that it's not a shunt, but he's taking an awfully long time to get going again. It's been about two weeks, and he does sit up now. He also has been seen scratching with his hind legs, and has stood up a couple of times. Very shaky when he stands though. He's very verbal and has a great appetite.
Thanks for sharing your story though. It just goes to show we don't really know everything, do we? haha. Not that any of us ever thought we did, but it helps to know that these symptoms can disappear.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
