westiemum Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yep leighw, I agree with other posters - sudden onset anything in an older dog needs tos be investigated and not just 'monitored' and IMO is worth a second opinion which is what you got with the GME diagnosis. I'm really lucky with my vet - on two occasions she ha gone away to research and come up with some less well known suggestions. So I hope that this is alls well for you and Holly.

leighw Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Just a quick update - Holly is much better today and is much more alert and even ran across the backyard this morning, so it looks like the prednisilone is working. I know there is no cure for GME but hopefully she will have a bit longer with us - who knows she might be a miracle dog who recovers completely.

Abby Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Good luck. Our dog had seizures all of a sudden and was shortly after diagnosed with meningitis (after testing CSF). His was a treatable type of meningitis but until the lab results came in many days later, we didn't know what kind of meningitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
