Carson has Necrotizing Encephalitis - Help! He had a MRI today and the Neurologist called to say she believes he has Necrotizing Encephalitis - it will be confirmed once the report is back from the lab. However, she had looked at the MRI data. Does anyone have advise they could share, it seems like its going to be a long road of harsh medications. And he may only live weeks or months, there is a chance he can live a long normal live (I'm praying for that option). Thank you! |
I'm praying for that option too. Hopefully, someone will come along that knows more than me! |

We actually have the report from DR Allen Sisson, so that is good news. Our breeder gave it to us when we didn't know what could be the problem. I going to make a copy for the Neurologist the next time I see her. |
I am so sorry about Carson's diagnosis. North Carolina State Vet School has been doing quite a it of research on encephalitis. There is lot of information on their website: Veterinary Teaching Hospital :: North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine |
Prayers for Carson to be the lucky one & beat the odds! :hands: |

1 Attachment(s) Thank you, we'll make a copy for her to contact him. She said that from what she saw on the MRI (how bad it was) she was surprised Carson wasn't worse off physically. I'm out for the day - we are getting my mom's house ready to be put up for sale on Tuesday. My neighbour is babysitting Carson and Chloe, so he will be watched carefully. Thank you for keeping him in your prayers. Attachment 325783 |
Carson is in my prayers. |
Carson is such an adorable little boy. You and Carson are in my prayers. I am so sorry that he is ill. |
I am sorry to hear this but want you to know there is hope with treatment! I see that others have given you links where you can find more information. Just wanted to share one of YHR's fosters with you. Little Roriee came to us in terrible shape from GME and is a little miracle now after having undergone chemotherapy. You can see her story at: Adoptable Pups We also have a thread about her on YT at: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...e-updates.html So, there are successful stories out there! Keep positive thoughts! You and Carson will be in my thoughts and prayers. |

Keeping positive thoughts and prayers for you and Carson. He is so adorable!!! |
Ladyjane - thank you for posting the link for Roriee, what an amazing story. And you are an amazing person for not giving up on this adorable little girl. I am hopeful for Carson, I just wish we were 5-7 days from now - so he could start to feel better from the Prednisone. Tuesday he will get the blood tider (not sure if that is how you spell it) done, and then we can start on the Lomustine. I believe this is what the Neurologist is suggesting, I do know she mentioned something that would happen every 4 weeks - so I guess that was it. I'm also going to check on the diet they mention in Dr Sisson's report - RD, however, I will probably figure out how to do it in a homecooked way. Thanks again! |
I am so sorry you and Carson have this diagnosis, it must be very scary for you. My prayers will be with you both as he goes through treatments. Roiree can be Carson's inspiration.....this will get better! |
