alex/happy update

[lizbud]

he's convinced that i'm trying to starve him (no cookies, at all!) but he's staggery and the vet will be giving him some antibiotics, he's not rebounding too fast. chicken broth and oatmeal for dinner tonight, we're out of rice. a dogs' life

By "staggery" I thought he you meant like a mock starvation type pose.
But was he really unsure of his footing or have trouble walking? This sure
seems to have come out of the blue. I am so sorry if his outlook looks so
unsure. Prayers for Alex on the way.

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so sorry to hear this. It really does seem to be too much all at once. I hope they find that things are not as bad as they think. I cannot imagine how hard this is on you. Prayers and hugs are being sent out for you and Alex.

[My Peanuts]

I'm so sorry to hear this about Alex. Let's just pray they are wrong.

I'm sending urgent prayers out to Alex right away. So sorry to hear this. I hope he gets better soon and has a complete recovery

alex has been seen by these vets for 9 years. they've checked him out after his numerous seizures and the vet could see by his head & body movements and staggery gait that he is having neurological changes. he cannot locate his hind feet when his toes were turned under for walking. she did offer to send him to a vet neuro for evaluation and a workup including an mri, but i won't put him through that. he'd have to be sedated, and i cannot see to put him through that with the newly discovered heart murmur and pancreatitis.
i am so sad. without any doubt, he has been one of the biggest joys of my life. as long as he is comfortable and eating he can have anything he wants, except for the kitty litter pan. i am so sad

[4 Dog Mother]

I am so sorry to read this news, Joyce. Poor Alex and poor you! He doesn't understand what is happening but you know what is most likely coming. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

i'm so sorry about Alex. i'm still sending good thoughts and prayers in hopes that Alex overcomes his illness.

[K9karen]

I'm at a lose for words. My heart is breaking for you. How wise not to put Alex under more stress with additional tests. I pray that he remains happy and safe in your loving arms. Gentle hugs and kisses for both of you.
