| Please help! My nightmare began 2 days ago with my Feebee walking with a head tilt which I presumed was an inner ear infection as she had this once before. I was already making plans to take her to the vet. Yesterday she started to walk in circles, lose her balance, and her right eye didn't appear to be moving much. My husband and I immediately took her to the E.R. The vet on call told us that she seems to have some sort of neurological damage and they began to do all sorts of tests. The vet mentioned it could be granulamatous meningoencephalitis, but we won't know for sure until the specialist sees her today. After we left our baby in the hospital last night, I immediately came home and began to look up GME. The prognosis doesn't look good from what I've read. Could someone please tell me if they've had any experience with this? This day will seem like eternity. Please pray for my baby...

| Yes, please search this forum for GME. Also, on the Rescue forum; there is a story of a little dog named Roriee with GME; she is a very positive inspiration for you. I will pray for your baby and hopefully, someone will come along and post links for you since I still don't know how. There is also a Yahoo group for owners of dogs with GME that you will want to join. |

| Here is a cut and paste of the 'Roriee' Thread in the Rescue forum. In the interest of those who are supporting Roriee and asking for updates, let's try another thread for our little girl! I have some positive news to share, but first - let's start off on the right foot.... The purpose of this thread is only for Roriee's health updates and progress, and to offer support to Roriee. We are hoping to keep Roriee's thread positive and on-topic because there are so many here at YT who wish to continue hearing of her progress and sending her goodwill. Admin and Mods support our request to keep this thread on-topic and I really appreciate your support in this! Previous Roriee threads can be located here for those who do not know her history. Roriee (AAI puppy) has had a major relapse! Roriee Updates Now, the good news..... As posted two days ago on the YHR site: 05/16/10 - Roriee is doing SO good! She has been walking around real good, wagging her tail a lot, and even lets out a [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]single[/COLOR][/COLOR] bark when the other dogs bark or she wants something. She gets excited when you come home and is wagging her tail waiting for you to pick her up and [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]love[/COLOR][/COLOR] her! She always looks at you with those big brite eyes and big ears, but isn't she so cute? She follows you anywhere you go, and if she loses your trail, all you have to do is talk and she figures it out. She has done amazingly well and keeps getting better, so please continue the prayers for Roriee. She goes back in around the 25th for her next chemo dose.

| I took her to the Animal Emergency hospital in Fairfield. The neurologist will be the one seeing Feebee today. None of the local vets were open yesterday.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | AERA is a very good hospital. The neurologist and her intern are excellent vets. All of the specialists there are great and really know their stuff. She's in good hands

| Here's a link to links: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sit...inks-info.html Most are treatable. Sounds like Chiari. Most of the links you may pull up have older info... the newer info is that these diseases are treatable... so don't lose hope... but get her to a neurologist ASAP.

| How old is your baby ? These are symptoms of GME , Chiari and liver shunt. Chiari comes in many severities as does liver shunt. You should talk to your vet about all of these conditions. None are much fun, however all are treatable so don't give up, hopefully they will be able to make a quick diagnosis and get started on treatment so your baby can get on the road to recovery. |
