Hi, my chihuahua is suspected to have encephalitis. We are still waiting on
the official spinal tap results from the lab as the initial results were
normal . Almost everything else has been ruled out by MRI and blood work.
His main symptom is neck pain and after 24 hours on presnisone his pain
seems to have been resolved
Its been a couple years since Pearl's last update. How is she doing?
Thanks for posting this. I have a "teddy bear" mixed breed who is now 5
years old and has been treated for encephalitis for 2 years now. She is on
prednisone, cyclosporine, and azathioprine...we have not been able to get
her off the pred. I'm going to ask our neurologist about plaxenuil and
lomustine. How is Pearl doing now?
Just an update on Pearl... It's been 5 months now and she is completely off
all meds including pred. It' appeared the combo of lomustine and pred
really saved her. Not to mention I was lucky to find the most amazing
neurologist who wouldn't let me give up. She is overweight
Treatment is still ongoing. she is on prednisone, plaxenuil, and lomustine.
She has gained a ton of weight due to steroids and I'm working with her
neurologist to figure out how to control the disease for long term. It's
been a tough road.
Only issue now is her weight due to almost 2 years on the pred -But has not
had any other problems but it was a gradual improvement and didn't happen
over night
This is my 5 year old Maltese. He has a rare ailment called Shaker Dog Syndrome. It affects small white dogs. If your dog is shaking uncontrollably, it could be ...
@calliegal235 The Thunder Shirt won't help in this case. Shaker syndrome is
not an anxiety disorder, it appears to be neurological. The cause is
unknown, but may be genetic.
Yes the episodes have stopped. He has a good appetite again and he's more
playful. The vet has no idea what the cause is. It's so rare there is
little info available.
