I can't even recount how many times Killian has persevered and prevailed in the face of adversity over the last several years. He is truly the WONDER DOG and a fighter in the best sense of that word. Keep the faith, Sue, this guy is going to pull though once again.
Again, thank you Everyone for your prayers.
Rachel, I was just thinking today of all the medical conditions Killian has suffered through. It is unbelievable. The thread running through all of it, though, except for liver disease, is autoimmune disease, I think.
Here's a list of what I can even remember: (and these are just the major ones, I won't list the little things like anal gland problems...etc. LOL)
Strange rash, hair loss, emaciated, etc. when first adopted (probably immune system problem started)
Eosinophyllic gingivitis (rare in dogs, usually seen in cats
)
Constant tooth problems resulting in the loss of 8 teeth
Lip-fold pyoderma
A few benign cysts
Pemphigus Vulgaris
Liver Disease (MVD, Acquired Multiple Liver Shunts, Small liver, High blood pressure in the liver)
And now whatever this tumor is.......
I really can't believe how much he has endured and he still keeps on loving..........
Save a life, ADOPT!!
