Janet, along with so many others, I am keeping a close eye on this thread for news about Peanut. :grouphug With your own wonderful vet and Dr. Couto on her case, you know she has the best chance for diagnosis and treatment. Prayers and warm good wishes.

Finally got to talk to Dr Couto.

 

She does not have Addison's. He did say she is presenting a very complicated picture. I told him in our family this was typical.

 

We could, if we could afford it, do a fine needle aspirate of the liver. That's where he thinks the problem is. That would rule out (or in) cancer or inflammation. We can't afford it at the moment, and it may not even help us help her. So on his recommendation we continue doing what we've been doing - prednisone for, doxycyclin and fluids plus pepcid.

 

He said sometimes greyhounds get hepatic for reasons we may never know. Sometimes the situation resolves and they get better. I just have to have faith that this will happen.

We did one for Red and his spleen when the vet (internist) thought he had lymphoma. I wasn't too expensive, and they sent it to Purdue. Unfortunately, he took a very bad turn for the worse the next day and we lost him. The results came back inconclusive the following day. Personally, I would not make the same choice again. I would have just treated him with the pred and loved him. Your situation is not what our situation was, but I would definately do what you are doing. :)

 

I hope your little Peanut rallys very soon :)

Hugs,

Janet I was thinking also about something to cleanse and support the liver. I'm glad your looking into this. Continued white light and healing thoughts for Peanut.

 

 

Squirt tells Peanut she can pull through and that she can fight it too!

 

Peanut you listen to Squirt and get better. She knows what it means to be a fighter.

Oh Janet,

I just logged on for the first time in a few days and saw this. I'm so sorry to hear what Peanut is going through (and taking you with her.) I'm hoping for the very best. :grouphug :grouphug :grouphug
