There isn't much info on the net with it and my Julie may be having a flare up again. This time, her symptoms seem different and DARNIT, my vet who knew her inside and out moved to another state.
See, all she needs is a depomedrol shot when she has a flare up but that is a catch 22 in itself. We try to avoid the shots as much as possible because they will eventually ruin her kidneys so we only do them if we are SURE she is having a flare up.
This time, her normal symptoms are not there and instead she has been throwing up (A LOT!) for a bout a week now. It's not her usual furball or eating too fast thingy either. Plus, she is especially clingy with me and yesterday seemed very spaced out all day. Like she was out of it, like she didn't know where she was.
Normally her symptoms are flaky skin, hair all dull and becoming matted and her legs curl up (like she gets bowlegged) and she has pain walking, but this time it seems like something else.
I need a auto immune disorder specialist and don't know where to find one! I wouldn't think vomiting and lethargy are symptoms, but just beause she never had those specific symptoms before, doesn't mean they aren't part of her disease.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
