Oh, Raquel, I am so happy for this update. I hope this doctor has the answers and that little Chuey will at last be on the road to recovery! I will continue to pray for this baby and for you. God bless you for not giving up on him!

He he was doing the kines..something or other. Sorry, too much stress to get it all right, but chu is moving more than he was prior. It was truly amazing. I don't believe this was a coincidence. When he asked about chus digestive system and if whether or not it was normal, the surrogate turned chu over, dr ran laser over hiim, head to toe over belly, and as smooth as wave comes a poop! He didn't even move or push or anything! It was truly out of this world.... So many vials and elements...wow...

Need to find more info on this if anybody can help I would really appreciate it.

Thanks again,

Raquel

Sorry Raquel, I don't know anything about that type of vet medicine. But just wanted to tell you, I am so.... happy that Chuey is doing better for both your sakes. Chuey has such a strong will and I pray that he will be fine soon.

I am so glad to hear Chuey has finally had a positive Vet experience.
My mom has a holistic vet for her cats and a dr for herself. She swears by them both! I hope and pray things continue to turn around for him. This is all linked to his shots? How scary!

Raquel - I'm so glad you took him to another vet. I sure sounds like Dr. Valentine knows what he is doing. I'm not familiar with holistic vets, but really like alternative medicine for humans. I know that they do things very different and it is hard not to be skeptical, but once you see results it is a different story. If you feel comfortable with him and Chuey is better, I say that is all that matters.

Please give Chuey (and yourself) hugs from us and keep up the good work!!

I'm sooo glad to hear Chuey is doing better! You are a great mom for going to the lengths you have for your little one. I'm happy you found a vet that could help him...are you going to see him again? I havent' experienced holistic tx, but it sounds like it really helped!
Bella and I send out hugs and prayers in the days to come:p

Hey girl ...... Just wanted to see how chuey is this afternoon?? So glad he is at least home with you :) Give him BIG hugs from us ..... We are Thinking about you .

(( hugs ))

Hello Everybody

Thank you again for you continued support and prayers. I know every bit helps. I am trying to stay strong and am having a better day today.

Chuey is about the same. He picks up his head and looks around. Picks up his head to eat. Stood up twice and crawl out of his kennel once. Then he just lays around on his blankets till I change his belly band or feed him. He desperately needs a FULL bath and haircut, but he's working with what he's got. His eyes look a little sad but I would even say he just looks so bored, its really bizarre. He doesn't look like he's in pain or anything like that. He just doesn't make a sound...ever. His breathing is normal. He's been pretty good with that for a while.

I had to make a decision and hope I made the right one. I have stopped giving him his antibiotics. Chu has been on 5 different antibiotics since Christmas!! Dr Valentine said they weren't making a difference anymore because what he has now is not bacterial. I thought about it for a day after seeing him. Its really hard to trust that he is right. But Chu hasn't walked right since he was in the hospital and started the antibiotics. So if he has no infection now, what do I have to lose?

So I stopped those and have been giving him some water with minerals dr v gave him. I am still giving him the prednisone. I don't know what his other vet is going to say or whether he is really going to care, but we'll see. I may not need to see him again. It's really hard to know the right thing to do. I just can't wait to see Chu stronger. I can't believe he's come this far to give up. He won't give up, and I won't either!

Thank you again for all your help!

Raquel

glad to hear things are kinda looking up.... is it just that he is weak? is that why he doen'st do much??? i guess as long as he is eating and drinking you can't ask for much more.. the rest will come with time. I can imagine that it is a bit difficult to understand and believe holistic remedies but if the "real" medicine hasn't worked... you may as well give this a try :) it sounds like the doctor is very knowledgable in both. good luck and we look forward to updates!

I ams o glad that chuey is bit stonger. I really want to commend you for your strength!! He is so lucky to have a mommy like you!!

My thoughts are with you and chuey!

A quiet night here for me and Chu,

He's not doing well. He seems to be getting weaker and weaker. He barely holds his head up to eat. And he didn't eat that much today. He just looks so tired, so so so tired. I am lost. Maybe its just late and the days are so long for him.

What's going to happen to my baby? Why did this happen?

I am going to call both vets tomorrow. There has to be something that they can do. Poor Chu, he looks so bad...

Please pray for him. He really needs it. :(

i just found this post and am praying so hard for your baby!!!!! i am soo sorry this happened, but chuey is so lucky to have such a loving mom who is working so hard to get him better!!!! everyone prayers are with chuey, and lots of hugs for you both!!!! keep us posted!!!! God Bless!!!!!

Chuey has been in my prayers since you first posted. Sometimes with holistic medicine, you seem worse, like you are backsliding before you turn around and start feeling better.
I pray this is the case with Chuey. Give Dr Valentine a chance, you only saw him yesterday. Call him in the morning. Prayers and Blessings to both you and Chuey.
