Oh goodness, healing dust and prayers outgoing to you and Byron! This just breaks my heart, and that face, even with his little diaper on, Poor thing, I hope he remains free of pain and in good spirits and they figure out what is wrong soon!!
If I'm in tears, I don't know how on Earth you're holding it together. All the healing dust in the world to Byron. I'm thinking of you, your DH and the pups and crossing my fingers for a positive outcome. Please keep us updated, NEL.
Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and Byron, NEL. Cuddle him for me. Having his mommy with him will be a comfort, even though he doesn't understand why things aren't working. The only time I ever saw Biscuit really become scared (and this undid me) was when he had pneumonia and couldn't catch his breath. Seeing terror on his face when he didn't know if he would get another breath, really did me in. Thank God he recovered from that! I never saw him scared again even though late in his life he could not get up!!!
I've got so much dust outgoing for you & your sweetie that it'll probably trigger an ice age. I can empathize with what you must be feeling, sending cyber hugs your way, and hoping for a good outcome.
Oh NEL, I'm so sorry you have to watch your beautiful boy go through this, my heart is aching for you. Sending heaps and heaps of healthy happy vibes to you and Byron xxx
Byron is absolutely adorable! I'm so so sorry to hear he's having some health issues, my heart ached reading your story. You must be having such a hard time seeing your baby this way.
He is young and I pray that he is back to running and playing again in no time!
I can't thank you guys enough, it means so much to me (and Byron). We have no updates as of yet--and no changes in Byron (for better or for worse). Talked with the neurologist yesterday, but no results have come in yet. We're keeping our fingers crossed that some of the titer results start coming in today.
Oh, poor Byron. I am a dog lover and can only imagine how I'd feel if our beloved Zoe was in this situation. Sending tons of dust your way. Hope that it's something easy to treat and that Byron is his old self asap! Please keep us posted!
NEL your post just broke my heart. I'm so sorry that Byron is facing this unknown illness and I'm sorry that you are feeling sad and scared for him. I'm praying that the Vet figures this out quickly and can help him get better.
Thanks again to each and every one of you. I planned to type out individual responses, but I'm just too tired!
I spoke with the neurologist this afternoon. Every titer has come back negative, we're waiting on three more. The good news is that they are all treated similarly using a chemo-therapy drug, so we're bringing in Byron on Friday to start the chemo-therapy which will hopefully decrease the inflammation so that he can restore use of his legs. Right now he's on an aggressive steroid treatment with no results at all.
So while we do not have a diagnosis, I'm glad that we are trying a new treatment this week. I'm still hoping for the best.
I am sending out all the good vibes I can to dear Byron. I am so sorry he is going through all of this and I am praying for him NEL and will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Big hugs to you and Byron!
Oh honey, my heart is breaking for you. HUGE HUGS for you both. I hope the treatment helps and that you have a diagnosis soon for your Byron. Much love and dust and best vibes going out to you and your family.
