Yay! I'm so glad you and Wylie got some good news yesterday! Give him a little cuddle & kiss from me!

Wylie is so studly sporting his new mohawk I am sure. More importantly, I'm so happy for the good news! You'll be in my thoughts. I'm hopeful for more good news on Monday.

Where are the picture's of Wylie's new 'do??

I should take a piccie. Maybe I could spike his hair down the middle to give the full effect of the shaved sides. He does look a little goofy...but it's a cute goofy.

Must really care for the little guy. Get off mid shift, grab a couple hours of sleep, off to the vets, grab a couple more hours of sleep then back to work.
Glad that you were persistent, followed your gut feelings and the current vet is in jeopardy of losing a client.

Oh gosh

Bob. Has he gained weight along w/ the lethargy? I'll tell ya, the signs can be sooo insidious and diffuse, that it can be hard to tell what's going on and you begin to wonder/question what you're seeing. I'm so glad you're taking Zeke in. Any hair loss? Some reasons for biting at the tail area could be fleas, clogged anal glands, mange, fungus, pyoderma (which is often more all over, like w/ Wylie). Please keep me posted and PM me if you need anything!

Ann, I'm so sorry to hear about little Wylie. I have no idea what you are going through with this situation, it does sound awfully dangerous for him. I have no words of wisdom to put your mind at ease, I can just tell you that Wylie is one blessed little man to have you for a Mommie.

simonandhallie · 05-06-2009, 02:41 PM

Oh Wylie!!!! I bet he looks very studly with his shaved do

I'm sorry I haven't been on much and I'm just seeing this but no worries, I will say extra prayers and send extra good thoughts your way!

He is a very lucky little man to have you as a mom and if anyone can get him through this, it's you

Aw, Denise - thank you

! You are so sweet. I hear the results on Monday...and today I start his twice-a-day thyroid pill. I sure miss you, lady, it's so great to "see" you.

I won't get the results of the ACTH until Monday - so at that time we'll find out if it's pituitary cushings...or not. And whether or not we can let Deb say "told you so!"

.

They didn't end up shaving down his mid-back - instead they shaved his tummy and then up the sides of torso....but you can hardly tell bc his other fur hangs down...so it's more like a traditional mohawk if anything.

I'm gonna go cuddle with him...

What great news!!!! Glad his new do isn't that extreme, though I know Wylie would surely work a reverse mohawk!!!

zoeybear · 05-06-2009, 04:33 PM

Just seeing this. Hoping for good news for Wylie. Glad Marcel was able to get something for his allergies too.

jfalz73 · 05-06-2009, 04:55 PM

So happy for the good news so far....hoping and praying that monday brings more!!

jc212 · 05-06-2009, 05:52 PM

I hope Wylie is feeling better! Second opinions are always good and I'm glad you found a vet that listened. What's important is that he is diagnosed and getting treatment. Will keep Wylie in my thoughts!

LilMissy · 05-06-2009, 06:37 PM

I hope that you continue to get good news. Big Hugs to both of you. I'm sorry that I didn't see your thread earlier to offer my support.
