Prayers and positive vibes going out for Ethan. It's so exasperating when you can't get a positive diagnosis, one way or the other. His on and off again symptoms are certainly puzzling. Hope the vet finds an answer, and a solution, soon!

Just here checking in for an update. ((((((HUGS))))) for Ethan and Casper - some for Sala and Towser, too. I'll keep praying and go light another candle.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

Thanks for the support, guys. My poor Ethan isn't feeling as well as I would expect him to at this point. He was crying a lot last night, but when I got him to sleep under the covers with me he calmed down a bit. He doesn't put any weight on his front right paw (the one that swelled the most a while back) and he pretty much just sleeps a lot. I have been able to keep him eating and drinking fine, so thats better than nothing. We have six days worth of meds left before we return to the vet and see where we go from there.

Update:
Well, more bloodwork and xrays has led to more questioning symptoms. On his bloodwork, his lymphocytes were still low (kinda expected that), but the xrays show he has bown growth throughout his body, but mainly on the leg he hasn't been using. On his problem leg he has some muscle dystrophy and his elbow is actually fused at a 90 degree angle so he can't straighten it. The bone growth is causing him to hurt throughout his whole body and thats why he is crying a lot and getting aggressive towards us.
Ethan's doctor isn't sure if he will regain usage of that leg or not. He is consulting with other veterinarians and has gotten a hold of a specialist out of Memphis who helped rule out a few things. We aren't sure if he will regain usage of that bad leg, and we will know if the Prednisone helps within 48 hours. If it doesn't, then we are at another dead end again...
Thanks again guys for the continued prayers for my boy. It means a lot to us.
