Boxbright Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 I was going to try show her, plus look at a bit of agility as my other two used to love it. Might look at obedience now. Still can't believe how many people have asked me why I just didn't put her down. As long as the vet said there was hope, she was not going to be put down. Its a long wait to find out what it is, I've never fed raw meat except chicken but my breeder has said she did. Im hoping its ratlung for her sake as she really feels aweful.

Jed Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 How long have you had her? If you feed beef it should be frozen prior to feeding to avoid this problem. Worth keeping in mind for the future. Hopefully, she will be ok. Pups often recover really well. Good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxbright Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Ive never fed beef to any of my dogs. If its Neo they can get it whilst in the womb, mum could be a carrier and she wouldnt know or she could have gotten infected when fed raw beef by the breeder. Both neuro and vet have said symptoms can sit dormant for some time. Oh well not much longer to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thanks for the updates - so glad your litle girl is coming good - and so quickly. That must be very encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxbright Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 All clear for Neo, just have to wait on ratlung result. Vet was amazed at her recovery, couldn't believe how good she is and seems to think she may not have any after affects. He said she is certainly a strong willed pup, thats for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAKSON Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I think that the litter sibling has now got the same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) I think that the litter sibling has now got the same problem That doesn't sound good. With two littermates affected it could be TNS which is something they will not find unless they do a bone marrow biopsy. This is why it went undiagnosed in BCs for so many years. The symptoms varied with whatever infection the dog had so no two were exactly the same. Similar conditions are common in many species so it is highly likely that breeds other than BCs will also carry genes for TNS like conditions.

Jed Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Perhaps the breeder will know, Boxbright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxbright Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 It appears there was a bit of confusion and there was a post by the breeder on another forum seeking advice on my girl. All good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
