Jacalyn, you are also being a wonderful mother to Carson. I am sure you will continue to love, take care of, nurture him, and give Carson the care he needs. A homecooked diet by Dr. Remillard sounds like a wonderful idea. I will be thinking of you often and praying that he will get better soon. I've read every thread about Roriee, and she has given me such hope. It doesn't sound like you would, but don't ever give up hope. If you ever start to feel down, read Roriee's story. I do, and it helps me a lot.

| Thanks Cathy, how do I get in touch with Dr. Remillard? Do you remember the cost to have him/her create a diet? We are going to double the Prednisone dose for four days starting tomorrow, so we can follow the suggestion from Dr. Sisson. He seems a bit more allert tonight, but his legs are still all over the place. |

Lisaly - Thanks for the sweet comments. I consider it my job as Daisy's guardian to be tireless and unrelenting in pursing any and all options for her that will improve her quality of life. Daisy steals the heart of all who meet her and she is truly a miracle dog. If she dies tomorrow, there will never be a day that I regret anything because I have done what many would not for a dog with the odds stacked against her. I am a better person because of Daisy.

I'm glad to hear that Carson is a bit more alert. I'm glad your neurologist is following the Dr. Sisson protocol. Regarding Dr. Remillard - she is at the MSPCA Angell Memorial Hospital in Boston. Yes, I do know the current fees to consult and do a diet. As that information may change, I will PM this to you so that future readers of this thread, if any, are not confused by the pricing should it change (and like everything else in life, I'm sure it will). As LadyJane said - where there is love there is hope and you have many of us here that will be on this journey with you. Kiss Carson on his little head for me. Cathy

| Hi everyone, Carson is starting his 48 hour injection treatment tomorrow morning - I am hoping they will allow me to finish up the three additional injections so we don't have to drive back and forth three more times in 48 hours, as well the stress it puts Carson under. We did the four days of 10mg Prednisone, but now he is back on 5mg since Friday - doesn't seem to be as stable on his feet with the 5mg. I guess we will know more after the injections. I am also going to see about getting him on a proper diet from Dr. Sisson's clinic. Have a great day, I just wanted to see everyone an update. Jacalyn, Carson & Chloe (who we have since got pet insurance for). |

| I'm so glad that you will be contacting Dr. Remillard at Angell. She is very experienced with sick dogs and as I mentioned works right on site with Dr. Sisson. She will know exactly what is best for Carson! He is in our prayers.

| So far three treatments, I was able to give all of the injections myself. No side effects yet, no big improvement though... I guess it takes time. Last one is tonight and then we have to do a white blood cell count in seven days. He's gained half a pound (Prednisone), so we have to cut back dinner a bit - I'm sure the extra weight isn't going to help him being stable. Daddy is home with him today, I took the day off yesterday. So all is good for now. Thank you for your prayers! Jacalyn |
