Toni, Totally understand Gidget was 7 at the time and I dont' think that is long enough to have her. She was more paralyzed in the legs. We noticed her...

Tammy - when my toy poodle Zefi was diagnosed with GME Dr. Sisson insisted she be spayed before he would start the Leflunomide. She came through the spaying...
I'm at a loss to understand the necessity of spinal taps every three months (if I understood your post correctly.) That's not a procedure without a certain...
Hi Jackie, Lexie has only been treated with Prednisone. We are concerned with the spinal taps, when we question her neurolgist about this she tells us it's the...
I did alot of reading last night after I read your post and found that repeat spinal taps to gauge the success of GME treatment is about the most antiquated...
LeeAnn, Thank you for the in-depth email. It was helpful to understand Gidget's history. Copper was at the doctor's yesterday and we outlined a course of...
Hi Jackie, Totally agree with you about the Spinal Taps. We do know the danger in doing these, which is one of the many reasons were looking for more options...
Toni, That's great news. I am sending prayers your way that Copper responds quickly. Copper is adorable and so is Bella. The one side view photo of Bella...
We both need to go to groomer school! I've been doing Bailey and Alvin for over a year now. The last time I got Alvin a little too close and my neighbor said...
I'm sure others will respond. Most dogs on here did start only with prednisone, usually too low, and then went to Dr. Sisson's treatment. Jackie ... From:...
I am Jasper's mom, my name is Lauren. Jasper came home yesterday. He is on 10mg pred twice a day, pepcid 5mg twice a day, and has just completed his first...
That's great to hear. With pred high enough in the beginning, improvement begins pretty quick. Now just don't let them taper it fast or a relapse will likely...
Jasper has been on pred for four days now. Has completed one two day round of cytosar. His pupils do not have a normal Light response. They do constrict...
It took almost a week for Bailey's sight to slowly begin to return and it improved continually after that. His eyesight is fine now. When he would relapse,...
I should have added in my previous post that of course, improvement will only happen if it can and that could depend on how long it went from GME onset to...

Thanks guys, I had sent them a much longer article, lol, but they had to shorten it. I think it's a good start, enough to let people know to keep looking at...
lol, maybe we can find a GME groomer school, I didn't realize how bad I was until I had photos taken of Gidget over the weekend. I ended up buying the ones...
Gidget was completely blind and she regained about 80%, it took a few weeks, each dog is different, some dogs on here have gotten 100% eyesight back so time...
Mojo was totally blind at diagnosis of GME. He received 5mg twice daily of pred and his pupils reacted to light within days. He probably had permanent damage...
Phil, Curious, how much did you see it improve once in remission, was that after Mojo was off all meds? Gidget is at 80% but would love for her to get some...
