3greys2cats Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear this, my heart goes out to you, I was wondering how Cricket was doing, the last thread I read was about the water therapy. My Sara was on the cytosar(cytarbine) treatments for 10 months and she has been done since December. You have done everything for Cricket, I'm sure it doesn't make it easier. My prayers are w/you.

Aerosmom Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 She's gone. In an odd way I feel almost relieved because it was so hard watching her decline and not be able to do anything for her. We spoiled her like crazy today -- three pieces of liver cooked in butter, limitless chicken crack (dried chicken treats), hugs, love, ear scritches, and way too many tears. I know she recognized that we were telling her how loved she was and she snuggled and loved us too. I'm sad but it's been such a long road with ups and downs and the deterioration near the end has been really difficult. Sadly, the neurologist's report (which my local vet showed me) from Angell says that it was autoimmune disease probably stemming from an initial tick-born infection. I feel like I should have been more aggressive about the doxy treatment the first neurologist gave her -- he kept saying it couldn't be tick-born and that she had already received doxy for it --- in reviewing all her records he only treated her at 125 mg 2x/day for three or four weeks....nowhere near the levels she should have been treated. I remember asking him and the e-vet affilitated iwth the specialty hospital couldn't it be tick-born and no one listened. I'll never know but I don't think I am going to bring another dog to that place -- I'll stick with my local vet (Riverside) and Angell Memorial or Tufts should I need a specialist.
