Jackie So glad to hear Bailey is feeling better. Magic is also very keen on chicken, she often has her tablets hidden in little bits of chicken and i'm sure...
Hi Cynthia So sorry to hear about what you are going through. From personal experience (I'm currently going through a very messy divorce) I can vouch for the...
Hi Stephanie Welcome to the group. I have only been fighting GME with my Westie Magic since May, and am still on a very steep learning curve! But if it helps...
... Yes, that's right. ... During the "up" periods when he was off of prednisdone, he was perkier and more energetic, but not symptom-free. The neck pain and ...
It's never a dull moment in the GME world. Bailey's platelets four days ago were 84 and they have since plummeted to 15. Dr. Sisson has withdrawn the...
Stephanie, What you describe seems perfectly consistent with GME. It might well be a brain tumor but that diagnosis would require an MRI, I believe. It might...
Others might know this, but I didn't. Dr. Sisson said no GME dog should ever have a blood transfusion unless it's a life threatening emergency and there is no...
Hi Jackie, The similarities between Patty and Bailey are so striking. It's crazy really. Patty had her cytarabine shot six days ago. We put her back on the...
I forgot to answer your question about pred... they're fine on the pred. ... From: Ms Brooke Johnson <brookedanett@...> Subject: Re: [NewGMEDogs] No...
Thank you Alex, I appreciate the advice and will call Otto's vet in the morning. (Thursday also happens to be the day that the part-time vet I like is in the...
Stephanie, GME kills dogs and prednisone stops the deadly autoimmune reaction. It is a wonderful drug for GME for every acute reaction and relapse but dogs ...
I need support. Lily began holding her left eye closed yesterday and I kept thinking she must have something in it, I opened it up and looked all in it and it...
Dr. Sisson just responded and said the pred would cause her to heal more slowly but that the other drugs would not be a problem. Anesthesia would not hurt...

Shelley, I wish I could help but since I am no expert, I'll leave that up to others. I just wanted to reach out and send a hug to you and Lily. I know how...
Shelley I wish there was something I could say or do to make this easier. Hang in there. I know the times I have had to leave Magic at the vets have been some...

i know GME changes everything :)Â in reading some of the posts about divorce and breakups, Gidget was my best friend as I went through my divorce in 2002 so I...
I am sorry you are going through this too. I have been through it twice. Once with my very sick 15 year old cat 1 year ago and my dog Ruby (she has GME now)....

Shelley, Â If it was me I'd trust the veterinary opthalmologist. Our dog with GME was put under to get her teeth cleaned with no problems. At that time she was...
Oh Shelley, After caring for these dogs for so long, it is so difficult to give up control and leave he/she at a vet's office. I know exactly how you feel. It...
