I just wanted to check with everyone. I know Dr. Sisson is probably a very busy man, but my vet called him two weeks ago after I found this group. He has...
That doesn't sound like Dr. Sisson. I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe your vet could call or email him or whoever is working with him. There appears to be...
Well Dr. Sisson gave his recommendation immediately, then my vet took days to respond, then didn't want to do it his way and procrastinated in working with Dr...
Ashley, From your message, I can't tell who's communicating with Dr. Sisson, you or the neurologist. My guess is the neurologist and your information about ...
By the way, if Lily is showing signs of relapse and you're reluctant to bump the steroids back to the original level, bump them back to the last dose where...
Thanks for all of the replys. They have helped in a way. I think I need to clarify, though. My neurologist IS the one who suggested bumping the pred all the...
Briefly: Yes, contact him as I suggested but pin it on the local vet. Follow the local neuro and bump the steroids all the way back up immediately. Dr....
Lily has been doing great up until about 3 days ago, I noticed her sight was not as good and that her back legs have become harder for her to control. He...
Scary for sure. I'm so sad to read this. I would do the MRI and know for sure if I was fighting something else, at least if this continues. I do know...
How much does Lily weigh? ... From: lori stevens <lil_lori_in_ak@...> Subject: Re: [NewGMEDogs] Lily in Oklahoma To: NewGMEDogs@yahoogroups.com Date:...
I don't want to jinx anything, but how is Patty doing? I wonder about you two quite often and hope all is going well. Jackie ... From: Ms Brooke Johnson To:...
you should contact Dr Sisson directly, he responds fast, and heed the warnings about possible confrontations. I left a local internal medicine specialist as...
Lori, I know, I was thinking of Tink today and hoping she was still doing well. We give the shots again on friday so I am hoping she responds well to those...
Hey- ya, Tink is still looking pretty fine. You know when she leans forward to eat or drink she too often falls in.  I call her Stinky-Tinky-Food-Face. ...
Hi Group, Sorry it has been a while since I have written; things have been busy on our end. Casper is 8 weeks into treatment and is doing really well! He is...
Hi Shelley, I'm certainly not an expert on this very complicated disease-- and I would trust Dr. Sisson's opinion in this case. However, I will say that...
Hi Jackie, I've been meaning to post, but I've been pretty busy and somewhat emotional about Patty's latest setback. Late last week, I had noticed that she was...
Marisa, Gidget was on Lomustine for awhile, it is given in the pill form so your husband's parents should have no trouble giving it to Casper. Gidget didn't...
Brooke, So sorry to hear about Patty. When Gidget was on Lomustine her liver levels shot through the roof and although she didn't have any hematomas or...
Lee Ann, Thank you so much for your feedback! Casper is already on Leflunomide, and it seems like Dr. Sisson is planning on adding the Lomustine as well. Of...
Brooke, I'm sorry to hear about the setback. I'll bet she bounces back, though. From what I've read and heard, each drug carries a certain percentage of...
Bailey has never had a reaction to Lomustine. In fact, it's my favorite drug. He seems to respond very well to it afterwards. Until it was added, he wasn't...
Hi Marisa, Brinkley took Lomustine and did fine. I would just have your inlaws keep a close eye on him, particularly when he is nearing day 6 following his...
Thank you guys so much for the positive feedback and for calming my nerves! I will definitley forewarn the inlaws about keeping a close eye on him towards the...
Jackie, I'd love to hear more about your theory for why some dogs are more successful... and the other treatment options you're looking into. Knowledge is...
Knowledge is power if it's factual and tested. Mine theory is just a hunch or as Dr. Sisson says, a "slim" chance. However, ten months into this with no...
Are you able to go in and see Dr. Sisson or is he treating you from a distance as well? Since he can't see her I think he is having a hard time believing it,...
I'm rotating the dogs and enjoying the fact that Dar has been "goofy" lately; he runs out the door, turns and does his play bow - then races off across the...
