Guest LNeilB2 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Ok, she's not my Greyhound, but I love her just as much. Our chocolate lab Truffles has been diagnosed with idiopathic encephalitis. If you are not familiar with the condition, it is rather serious. Please send good wishes and positive thoughts her way here This is a tough Christmas...our Greyhound Nigel is mega stressed. Thanks all, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LovesDoggies Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) Neil, What are Truffles' symptoms? What medications has she been prescribed? My greyhound, Bruce, has been diagnosed with GME. You may wish to join this Yahoo group to learn more about GME, since it sounds like that is what Truffles may have: GME Yahoo Group Bruce has been treated by Dr. Sisson, a neurologist who specializes in GME treatment at Angell Memorial in Boston. Even if Truffles is not suspected to have GME, I would recommend a trip to see Dr. Sisson. Each time he has examined my Bruce, he has examined him more thoroughly than any doctor I've seen. Best wishes to you and Truffles. Edited December 23, 2008 by LovesDoggies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes to you and Truffles. Hello; Truffles has taken: doxyclycline for a few weeks, prednisone (continuing), SMZ D-S for a few weeks, and Cyclosporine (started recently) at $300 a month. Ouch. I'm looking in to GME now, thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
