Sorry to all followers of this blog.
I had to move suddenly and my job has been out of control so I pray you all accept my apology.
Back to the subject at hand.
We visited the new nuerologist who confirmed Dante’s Chiari malformation. He didn’t think scaring had occurred based on Dante’s symptoms and improvement after surgery. After examination we came to the conclusion that on top of it all, Dante has arthritis. This was confirmed by his reaction to Metacam which returned him to puppy activity, for a time. Eventually he barfed big time and had no appetite.
So, today, we had the first acupunture treatment. I hope this helps him.
As to Dante, he’s good. He has bad days, but if I had to quantify it somehow I would say he has two bad days a month, or at least in the last month.
We’ll see how this goes.
He’s good now. Lot’s of increased activity this night (Mr. Bark) but yet seems chilled out. Does this mean anything? I don’t know. The vet tells me that you know if acupuncture is going to work or not by the 4th or 6th treatment.
I’ll let you know.
Merry Christmas.
Dante and Kathleen
