| ![]() This breaks my heart. Poor little Mattie. I've had to make this horrible decision before and decided to do all that I could to help Snoopy (my cat). I could tell that he was in really bad condition, but I was hoping that with my care and love, he would pull through. I did everything the vet said I should do, and I did not give a thought to the dollar amount. I just wanted him to stay with me. Then one night, while I was feeding him with a syringe, I told myself, I needed to let him go. There was no more life in him left. I decided to take him in to the vet in the morning to end is suffering (he was not in pain, but I could tell he was suffering... looking in his eyes- not sure if that makes sense). Early that evening, he passed away. My advice to you, is to let little Mattie go, so she no longer has to suffer and you can put your mind at rest knowing she crossed over the rainbow bridge. You have a lot on your plate right now, and believe me, once she passes, it will feel like a whole weight has been lifted because you will know she is in a good place.

| ![]() Brenda check you Private Messages!! I know what Mattie has and can help you!! Brooke had the same thing, she was crooked and couldn't walk!! It is most likely GME a form of Meningioencephalitis. I gave you the contact name of the doctor that saved my Brooke, he can help you save Mattie. You can email him and he will work with your doctors for free!! He is an expert on GME and has helped thousands of people save their dogs!!! Please call me I can help, I have been going through the same thing for a year!! If anyone else knows how to contact Brenda, please PM me! I don't want her to put Mattie down when all she needs right now is the correct dose of Prednisone and a consult with Dr. Sisson.

I found this online: Granulometous Meningioencephalomyelitis(GME) The differential diagnosis list for GME is pretty short. It can be confused with other forms of encephalitis (infectious, toxic) and with cancers affecting the brain. Hepatic encephalopathy can look a lot like GME but usually there are obvious signs of liver disease which make it possible to distinguish that toxic effects of liver disease are causing the neurologic signs.
