Sorry, I copied & pasted this from my lj. I have a lot to do & didn't have time to re-write it all.
We continue to thank each & every one of yous for your thoughts & prayers!
So more tests and consults were done today on Raustyk. We have not ruled out most of the other possible conditions that I have already listed before but have come to the conclusion that it is most likely something more along the lines of a degenerative myelopathy problem or even some sort of neuropathie problem. The whole kidney thing has been brewing for quite some time. Although it is worse now it is probably not related to her hind end problem.
We have also come to the conclusion that pretty much the only things at this time that would help diagnose the problem besides time & what we are already currently doing are things like an MRI, bone scan or the like. But even so, there really wouldn't be much of a cure for her if she were to have any of those problems detected by those means and the few things that might have a cure she would not be a good candidate for.
So we are monitoring her closely, giving her proper exercise & therapy, low protein foods, fluids, supplements & tramadol for pain.
I have quite a bit of research to do, mostly regarding some supplements & just about everything on how to feed a low protein all raw diet.
It stinks, her kidneys can not handle a lot of protein but her muscles really need it. It's a no win situation here.
