 Long over-due Update
It's been over a year since I last posted to Yorkie Talk, and there has been good reason.
LydJoseph-- thanks for your post. Hopefully others will learn options, treatment, etc. from both of our situations.
The treatment we followed from her onset (she had just turned 7)-- which could only be completely diagnosed by two MRIs-- was prednisone tablets in the morning and children's benadryl at night (helped her rest easier). We did have a prescription for valium on the fridge that we never filled--- at 2 lbs the dosage we used of benadryl did the job.
As some of you may realize by now, Marci fought a long and hard fight-- over a year longer than any other case that our vet or specialist could remember. We lost her at the end of August 2005.
Again, thanks to everyone for all your kind thoughts and prayers. Maybe one day we'll have it in us to open our hearts again . . . but for now they are still mending.
