He's doing better in many ways, his ears are looking alive again, I've seen him walk and move much more this last few days, than he did the first week. He has life in his eyes that he didn't have at first too! He is learning his new name, it's obvious when I talk to him that he is listening and knows when it's him I'm talking to/about.

We're still in the process of diagnosis. Forrest will be getting a bile acids test done later this week. His condition was so poor after his first vet visit and blood draw, I wanted a few days to try and build him up before getting another blood draw for the BAT. His ALT number was high at 215, but AST was within normal range, the ALT was the only number not within normal range.

His previous owner did email to tell me, the vets told her he did not have liver shunt. But without the OSU records we don't know what specific tests may have been done to rule out LS. I'm still trying to get those records so just maybe Forrest won't have to go through testing that's not necessary.

I honestly think a big part of his problem has been neglect. He is on a great quality, low protein food, that I do trust much more than the other commercial specialty liver diets I see promoted.

Changing food makes such a difference, and a vet helps too, but all that love he is getting from you Jen, and everyone on here is just heartwarming!

Thank you both! I keep saying Forrest is more of a blessing for us, than we are, for him. He makes my resolve even stronger to help the poor unwanted and neglected pups.

I just spoke with Jen. Our little Forrest went to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday after unexpected complications of his MVD.

I am so thankful that Forrest's last days were with Jen and her husband, where he finally got to know love, make a friend, and experience some joy in his too short life. Thank you, Jen.

RIP sweet Forrest.

Good bye Forrest, you will always hold a special place in my heart. I fell in love with you when I first saw your picture online.

I am sorry Jen, I know how much you cared for him - my thoughts to you, your family and Little Louis.

Oh Jen, I know I am never on here anymore, but I just saw this and wanted to let you know that I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Forrest.

May he rest in peace.

LilMissy · 06-13-2010, 05:32 PM

Oh the poor little darling. I can't believe his ears! So sad and cruel, but thankfully he's found you now. You're right about his eyes, they just make you melt.

sunshinnes · 06-13-2010, 05:58 PM

May you sleep in the angels arms, you sweet little baby.... so sorry for your lost

Vwitscher · 06-14-2010, 05:00 AM

Praying you find some comfort in knowing what joy you brought to Forrest's life. He really does have those magic legs now waiting for you at the bridge. While you wait up there little man, "Run, Forrest! Run!"

I got in late on this post but read every one and I just knew little Forrest was going to get better. Then when he died I was so shocked I cried my eyes out. But now he is with Jesus. No more pain for this little guy. Glod bless him and keep him forever.
