Bevd Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 I've stopped whizzing around for a moment (before going off to create a light diet party dinner). There is no evidence of a bone tumour No evidence of arthritis Whist he's under they are going to xray his chest and abddomen because we still need to find the cause of his weight loss. The senior vet (my normal vet) is still concerned that there may be a neurological cause. (Not sure what that specifically means but will find out if necessary) All thyroid levels are normal White blood count has gone down a bit from 4.6 at last test to 3.6 now but thats still within the normal range for a greyhound (albeit the low range). As well as the above x rays, I've asked that they do any other test whilst he's asleep (eg ultrasound if necessary) which they think may help pinpoint the cause of his symptoms. I've also asked them to clean his teeth if they get time :laugh: I'll let you know when the next call comes in. Re-commence dancing Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats. Remembering Del, Jessie, Maddison, Flo, Sally, Stanley, Wallace, Radar, Mokka, Oki cat, Tetley, Poppy & Striker.

Fiona3 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Now that's what I call a GOOD UPDATE! Wonderful news for Wallace and such a relief for you. Hobbes had some neurological problems last year that included weight loss. He was treated with Prednisone for the inflammation which increased his appetite. I started feeding him 3 times a day, added mashed potatoes to each meal, boiled chicken on top of his kibble and an extra snack here and there. He started putting on weight and really filled out during the fall and winter. Maybe the "Hobbes Diet" would work for Wallace. :clap :confetti Hobbes - April 2, 1994 to April 9, 2008-----Tasha - May 23, 2000 to March 31, 2013 Fiona - Aug 29, 2001 to May 5, 2014-----Bailey - March 22, 2001 to Jan 20, 2015 Zeke - June 1, 2004 - Jan 26, 2016----Callie - July 14, 2006 to July 27, 2019 Forever in my heart: Chooch, Molly, Dylan & Lucy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevd Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 They did x-rays of his chest and abdomen and found nothing strange. His lymph glands seem fine. He's not got a temperature or and all his bloods seem to say that all his important bits are working as they should. The dog is a medical mystery We're going to do a poo sample (3 samples, 48 hours apart) and on Monday I'll be discussing with the vet whether we should give him pain medication daily for a couple of weeks and see if he starts to put some weight back on. He is probably also going to be referred for an MRI scan (not sure if you call it the same thing but hopefully you do!). Wallace is now home and has eaten his dinner and is now asleep Thank you all for your good wishes and support Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.
