yay for bob!

hey there!

so glad to hear that bob is doing well. shame about the nostril infection, but at least it's something that will clear up relatively quickly and isn't life threatening. poor little guy - he's already been through so much! i'm sure you must feel like you've had the weight of the world lifted off your shoulders . thank god you finally found a vet who knew what to do! hang in there and let us know when bob is back to his old self.

so happy for you both!!!!

Hi Bobsdad:

What an experience you and your family have been through, and poor Bob has suffered the most! I'm VERY happy to hear that you finally have the answers and treatments so that Bob can continue his life as a happy dog in an extremely loving and caring family.

Your sharing this horrible experience has been a blessing for those of us out here reading and learning with you through your journey, and will certainly make us more aware of some of the ''odder'' illnesses than can touch our beloved pets.

I applaud you bobsdad for your love, courage, strength and commitment to Bob. Every pet deserves a family like you!

Please continue to keep us updated.

Hugs to Bob and all of you!

Sincerely,
Shabby

Hi Bobsdad

I'm new to the site..so I'm just reading everything today and hope I'm not intruding.

I'm so glad to hear that Bob is doing better. As hard as it seems right now..with these rare diseases and so little info out there, it can seem like one thing just keeps leading to another. I honestly speak from experience with my little papillon on my avatar. My little Peanut is now waiting for me on the other side of the bridge..but against all odds, she made it to old age and with a robustness that was shocking, heartening and engaging.

I did the same as you...scoped the internet, stayed in constant contact with my vet...and learned to 'think outside the box'.

Have you discussed with your vet the possibility of acupuncture or physio? When things were bad and extra fluid and nutrition were needed, I have used Boost nutritional shakes and a bit of water....a turkey baster for the big girl and a syringe for the little ones. I also talked for [U]many[U] hours with my vet, the use of homeopathic remedies...vitamins, etc. You have to be careful..but the benefits of remedies over meds, are the body pees out what it doesn't need. I seriously have an awesome vet clinic...they are only interested in making the animals better and willing to do what it takes. I wish you so much luck and hope for the future.

I do have meat alternative recipes if you're interested..you can pm me.

Take care
