We are meeting with our local vet tomorrow for Casper's first check up/bloodwork since his diagnosis (I can't believe that was 3 weeks ago already). We have...
... During Mojo's first 3 or 4 months following diagnosis and when on higher doses of Pred and starting Lomustine, he sometimes was distant and lethargic. This...
I don't know what dose pred Casper has been on, but yes, the meds can do all you mentioned. I know when Bailey is on higher doses he is sort of like a blob on...
Marisa, Casper's personality changes are definitely the disease and the meds. I hope your vet decides to consult with Dr. Sisson. If three weeks have...
Marisa, It could be either. To answer the question more accurately, it would be good to know how long severely symptoms went on before Casper was put on ...
Oh yes Marisa! My Maltese Bako has definitley changed (personality wise). He will lay on or beside of us in the evenings like he used to but does spend a lot...
My Weimarnar, Ruby was diagnosed about 1 week ago and has been on the meds for GME for about 10 days now. Your description of your pup is practically...
Thank you all so much for getting back to me! I feel definitely a little more relieved that what I described seems a bit more common in the beginning with...
In the beginning, that high pred dose scared me silly and I didn't want to do it. Being in this now seven months plus, I can say I haven't seen one dog lost...
Marisa, In Gidget's case, since we didn't follow Dr. Sisson's treatment at first, and only do a part of the treatment, Gidget didn't do well on lomustine. It...
My 1 year old pomeranian was diagnosed with GME this week. 2 months ago she went totally blind and a Eye specialist gave her pred and 4 eye drops and she...
Well, there is hope. What you are describing is what many have described before contacting Dr. Sisson in Boston for his treatment info. There are dogs now...
I am glad you found this support group but am sad you have a dog with GME. You will receive a wealth of info from so many of the members that are so...
Hi Shelly, To be right to the point. You're moving way, way, way, too fast to reach the point that you're considering letting your little one go. When GME is...
Hi Alex, I took Maisy today to see Dr. Sisson and I am SO happy that she is under his treatment plan starting tomorrow morning. He was very kind to us and...
Good for you. Good for Maisy. And, most importantly, thank heaven for Dr. Sisson. Congratulations. Go Maisy! Alex _____ From: NewGMEDogs@yahoogroups.com...

Welcome to the group Shelley :) Gidget, my 5lb yorkie was totally blind when she was diagnosed and could hardly walk. By following Dr. Sisson's treatment...
Hi Shelly, So sorry to hear of Lilly's diagnosis.....BUT...you are in the right place with the right people to help...Everything that Alex said is important on...
Although, I am still holding my breath, I wanted to let everyone know that Gidget has been off of the pred now for 11 days. She had a CBC/Chem panel done...
Congratulations. Such mixed emotions. We can't wait for them to go off pred and we are scared when they do. Keeping fingers crossed for you. Go, Gidget. ...
Shelley, I would also like to welcome you to the group. You will find a wealth of information and support from the group. Our baby, Itsy, a 6 month old...
Marissa, Our baby, Itsy is 2 weeks into her treatment and we have noticed the same thing. Sometimes she just seems to want to be by herself..doesn't seem as...
Yeah Lee Ann, that is so great! I remember being where you were. There was no feeling like it in the world. Congratulations to you and Gidget and keep up...

Shelly- just one thing about the MRI and Spinal Tap. I payed about $2,000 for these tests and this price is not including the hospital stay. Total for my...
Shelly, To add to what Doris said, doing these tests after steroids have been started are not as useful, maybe even useless. So, I wasn't advocating doing...
