Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Update Squirt
| Sorry it's been a bit, we've just been taking care of Squirt. To answer a few questions, he was not on baby asprin (shouldhe have been?) Meclizine is Dammamine, he does quite well when on it(1/2 tab a day) but he appears blind or blurred vision n one side. His appetite is tremendous! His walking hjas been better, a little straighter but in the house it's mostly like 2 foot circles. So far the blood is better, but there's this right side weakness that seems to stay. My concern at this point is atrophy of his right side. |

| Ed, Sorry to hear Squirt is still having the weakness. Does your Vet think it might have been a stroke? Did you ever contact Dr. Dodds? She might be able to recommend something you can do to prevent any further muscle loss. Keep us posted. Penny |

| Has your vet mentioned vestibular disease ... can be different causes, including brain lesion, but also inner ear infection. Here is a little info if you are interested http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_vestibular_disease.html http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/health/vestdisease.htm (there are several other links at the bottom of this page_ Some years ago, a friend of mine lived with her older samoyed for several years with a vestibular disorder. Because of, or in addition to the turning circles, he would get stuck in a corner. But after only a little bit of time, she figured out ways to manage her house and him so it was an infrequent occurence. Hope you find a resolution. Best to Squirt. |
