Thanks, Nanci and everyone else for good thoughts and wishes. This morning reminds me of taking a car into the shop that's been making strange noises and the...
Hi, I think you're right that swimming won't cause the bones to realign but improving his muscle strength can help support a skeleton that's been somewhat...
Nanci, I love hearing about Brooke. She gives hope to so many and you've been the best possible mom. Keep us posted on how she's doing...we love the stories of...
Jackie, If you're thinking of Dino, don't be afraid of that. No one here recognized what was going on before it was too late. You just need to push your vets...
Dino was an eye opener to everyone on these meds, I think. I'll certainly watch everything going on, but still, you often don't know it is serious. Like this...
Oh, Jackie, I understand your anxiety. I can't help with diet and things to lessen GI problems. Everything I thought I knew and practiced for years with my...
Jackie, How much does Bailey weigh? ... From: Donna Velestino <midge94577@...> Subject: [NewGMEDogs] Re: Thanks Nanci and everyone for good wishes To:...
Hi guys. Thanks for all of your support. Patty seems to be doing ok on the more aggressive regimen. But I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping you all...
WOW Jackie! That's going to be expensive. I was spending around $120 a month on the Atopica, but I was only giving half the amount you are. That sucks. I...
HI Brooke, I don't really have all the answers to your questions, but I'll tackle a few. First, with regard to the food issue... and you're probably not going...
Thanks Jill... I should get some dog food recipes from you. That sounds like a good idea. If I can get her to eat the w/d feline then I'll probably stick with...
You might want to try acupuncture for Teddy. Brooke was damaged during one of her CSF taps and she couldn't move or stand or walk. I took her to acupuncture...
At one time before prednisone came into his life, he weighed 8.8 pounds. Now, he looks like a little sherman tank motoring around my living room. Funny...
I'm not exactly sure why he went with Atopica instead of Cyclosporin unless he sensed my apprehension about possible GI issues. Yep... 239.00 bucks later for...
Bailey never would eat that r/d food. I got four cans expecting him to start on it and he looked at me like, "Are you serious?" I tried putting stuff on it,...
Hi Brooke... it sounds like timewise and medwise, Bailey and Patty are following about the same course and also with relapses. I didn't ask Dr. Sisson, so...
I've never asked or read about this and I'm wondering if anyone knows. With Dr. Sisson's treatment for GME, I assume the immune system is being disabled so it...
Jackie, It seems that with successful treatment, the immune system resets itself and stops seeing the brain as an enemy. It is always possible that it will ...
Thanks Doc! :) Is it worth pursuing, as treatment is ongoing, some other options to try and rebuild the immune system or will that contradict what's being...
You definitely don't want to try to boost the immune system at the same time you're trying to suppress it. Afterwards, I don't think it's necessary but maybe...
Some of us who are no longer in your shoes (meds, tests, etc) don't post often because sometimes it seems insensitive. So many of you are going through so...
Carleigh's neuro said only vit E and/or C after off meds. I give fish oil once a day, but she eats people food and that's the only thing I feel she might be...
Four years? Wow, congratulations! I really needed to read something like this today while putting Bailey on so many more meds. Wondering if dogs do indeed...
Most people who see her have no idea what she's gone through. They do think her little head tilt is cute (which she did not have before GME), but you know...
My Neurologist will not let me administer it, Gidget is taking it in a capsule form, we had to have the drug compounded to 5mg. So it is expensive it is $72...
thanks we will take all the luck we can get. I am in the kansas city area so in case anyone is in that area I would recommend the Veternarian Specialty...
Noelle, I am so sorry about Natia. I feel very blessed that we discovered this early before she ever had a seizure. Thanks for your support :) Lee Ann...
Sue, That is AWESOME news! It gives everyone hope. Lee Ann ... Angel's improvement level. She's back to 100%!! It appears that the diagnosis IS GME, but...
Jan, I want to hear the successes because everything I read before finding this site, Dr. Sisson's site, and the yorkie talk forum was very depressing and...
