Oh, Leslie, there is some hope for the little girl to be comfortable again. What a wonderful vet Cassie has, but also what a wonderful loving family too! It takes all of that to get them through this, too. Good luck with the vaporizer treatments and the massage and the new antibiotics. There are a lot of sets of hands around the world who would like to be there to help. Maybe Sue will have some "tasty" menu ideas that your mom might be able to try to entice the little girl to eat.
Hugs to Cassie. Please know that we will continue praying for her recovery.

Oh, Leslie I am so happy hear that there is still a chance that little Cassie can get better. You and your mom and Cassie's Vet really are caring people to not give up on the pugster.
I'm praying that the new meds and massage/vaporizer treatment work for her. Tell Cassie that I think she is the bravest and toughest little girl I know:D
-
I'm so glad to hear that there's still some hope left for Cassie.:) It sounds like you have a very caring vet. I sure hope that the new antibiotics and massage and steam treatments will help little Cassie. More prayers are on the way.

What a wonderful vet!!! I hope that the new treatments help Cassie. After she stops throwing up all her food, maybe you could get her to eat a little of one of Killian's favorites...braunschweiger. Good luck!! Prayers still coming your way!
-
That;s really encouraging news about Cassie. I'm so glad you have such a caring vet, it makes such a difference having people around you who care so much. I hope she keeps picking up in condition :)

Great news Leslie! There is still hope! I am so relieved to hear that this morning. I have been worried sick about Cassie. i do hope her new treatment is effective.

Honey, you want to know about dog allergies?? My Lab is allergic to air, I swear she is. I battle chronic ear infections, she used to get chronic staph infections on her skin too.... I had to give her shot of something called Staph-lysate to help her body build up an immunity to the staph.. as for your dog with the ear problems, has your vet mention vestibular syndrome to you??. It's when the vestibular nerve deep in the inner ear gets innflamed and it throws off a dogs balance. It can be caused by bad ear infections. My old 17 year old dog had spells with it..It does go away, but in most cases comes back from time to time...It causes something call "Nystagmus" too(twitching eyes). Sounds like whatever the growth is in your dogs ear is aggrevating the vestibular nerve. Pred will help with the inflamation and a strong ORAL antibiotic plus Ottomax drops. You have to disipline yourself and do weekly ear cleanings and if need be, use the ottomax every other day..

Here's a site for you which tells about vestibular syndrome.. it's one I have on my site, but unfortunately my site is down right now....
http://www.golden-retriever.com/vestibular.html
it causes dogs to vomit because of the dizzy sea sick feeling they have.. Dramamine will help with the vomiting.. I know just how you feel. The first time my dog got it, I found her laying on the floor, unable to walk, with vomit all over the place and her eyes twitching back and forth..I rushed her to the vets and when they told me, with time and patience she'll come out of it, I thought they were crazy.. My dog weighed 70 pounds and I had to use a canvas log carrier with handles on it to get her in and out to go potty... it took her 2 1/2 till she was able to stand and walk on her own, and more time for her to become totally oriented again... hang in there... my thoughts are with ya :-)

It sounds like you have a very caring Vet and he has really taken an interest in helping Cassie, I'm so happy to hear he feels there is hope in making Cassie more comfortable and maybe even a lot better. He has to be one in a million, hugs and kisses to Cassie our little trooper. Prayers are still going her way and you know what the power of prayer can do.

Merlin says "Yahoo" such treatment massages and steaming wow!!!! Glad to hear its working and making her more comfortable. What a sweetheart of a vet. You should have him cloned ! seriously though how about having him read this thread and find out how many others care too. We all could thank him for his caring heart.
-
What wonderful news Leslie and what a wonderful Vet you have! :D
Come on Cassie! You can do it! :)
-
I am so happy to hear that Cassie is doing a little better. Have you thought about offering cat food to her? Either wet or dry. Maybe it will get her appetite back. My dogs always loved cat food.
Hang in there Cass, we all know you can do it!:)
-
The best news is that Cassie is a little fighter. I love that the most. I think your vet should be nominated for Sainthood. He ahs a heart of gold and compassion and now, lots of (female?) fans!! Les, I think you should make a booklet out of this post to show him. Cody drools for liverwurst, cheese and tuna (hey! it's gotta be solid white meat-what a snob) Sending loving snorts your way. Love you all

I am so happy to read such encouraging news about sweet Cassie.. I will keep the prayers going every day for her and you all.
Hugs and kisses to Cassie.
