Hi everyone, I am new to this group and very naieve to GME. My maltese Oscar, (5yrs)was diagnosed on the 2nd October 2008 and so tomorrow will mark 3 months...
Hi, Welcome to the group and sorry you had to find us but glad you did. Don't cry, we'll help Oscar get better. Before I get into too many specifics about...
Hi Alex, I can't tell you how glad I am to have gotten your reply. I was in such a state when I made my post last night that I forgot to include my own name,...
I'm sorry it took me so long to get back, we were really busy today at work and it was almost impossible to get online. I will pick up where I left off. So,...
How much does Oscar weigh? You may not have dosed Oscar high enough with the prednisone at the very beginning. I have a Maltese and she is suffering with...
I inadvertently sent this only to Jacqui this morning. Here's a copy for general consumption. Alex Hi Jacqui, Well, that is more detail than before and you...
Hi Jacqui, Reading about Oscar's grooming was interesting to me because my maltese, Bailey, was a bugger to groom, too. He never had to be sedated, but I knew...
Jacqui, I have always groomed my Maltese at home. They may not look like the "showdogs" in the books and magazines, but they trust me and I find that it is...
Hi Alex, Sorry if I didn't give you the desired information. I will try again... (1) Oscar currently weighs 6kg, I weighed him on Wed at the vet. (2) & (3)...
Hi there, Thankyou for all your suggestions with the grooming. I will definitely be attempting to groom him myself rather than with a professional groomer....
Hi Jacqui, Thanks for the additional information. I'm still trying to make heads or tails of Oscar's history because it's kind of confusing in the narrative ...
That next to last line should have read: "Your vet is like 99% of those out there, relying on old information in giving you the absolutely incorrect advice...
No problem.... and far too many dogs to keep track of, too, doc!! ... From: Alex Eisemann To: NewGMEDogs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2009 9:15...
I wasn't sure I wanted to post this message about Bailey because I don't want to dash the hopes of any new people considering treatment, but as Alex told me,...
And as I told Jackie when she e-mailed me privately (there was no need to do that, so that's why we're re-posting our exchange for everyone to see): You should...
I may be spelling that wrong, but does anyone use or recommend the supplement SamE for the liver? Since Bailey's going to be on pred so much longer, I'm...
Yes, it's actually "SAMe" (the reverse of the case you used). It and milk thistle are two supplements Dr. Sisson recommends ((in the brand name Denosyl and...
Kisa took Marin, Denosyl and Vitamin E and it kept her liver values pretty close to normal. If I remember right, Denosyl is the veterinary form of SAMe and...
And here's a link that will work, as the one in the last message was broken into two lines: http://www.nutramaxlabs.com/products/animal/liver/liver.asp. Alex ...
Jackie, sorry to hear of Bailey's setback. All of us on this site are here to give congrats to the positives and hugs, prayers, and best thoughts for setbacks...
Jackie, I'm so sorry to hear about Bailey. Patty and I are thinking of our little friend tonight and wishing him the best in his fight against this terrible...
Dropping that pred is a scary time and I certainly didn't expect this to happen. I hope Patty sails right through it, the days just go by like normal and...
Jackie, Until you see your baby go through this, you really don't understand how much this disease is dictated by chance. I hope Bailey and Patty are the lucky...
Jackie and Brooke - my little Zefi is in your "club" too. She went off Pred the end of August and so far "nothing has happened". I am still waiting to...
I'm so glad for you. I understand holding the breath. I'm breathing again after Bailey's relapse, but the disappointment hurts big time. I'm waiting for the...
Hey everyone! I just wanted to give you all a quick update on Brownee. He just finished his first four injections. Previously he was getting the cyratabine via...
Thanks for the encouragement Mary Ann! I have big hopes that Patty will be a success story. All of our little guys are fighters... mine has taught me so much...
I see we've had a few new members since I posted this a week or so ago. I intend to modify the automated welcome message to incorporate the changes in Dr....
This is the third day of Bailey going back to ten mg. of pred a day. He has one more day and then drops to five mg. a day for another month. He's showing a...
