I just thought I'd post an unfortunate update. The female dog (Nora) passed yesterday. She got the disease which sometimes occurs in purebred dogs where the immune system attacks the red blood cells. She was at the vet for a week and then everyone thought maybe she would survive cause the vet said the third day is normally what determines that. She came home and was improving over about a week but when her medication was reduced it relapsed and.....
We had a little funeral this morning and buried her in a corner of the yard. We need to come up with a marker for the grave. She was mostly my mom's dog so it is hardest on her but she was loved by everyone. About one and a quarter years old. It is amazing how attached you can get to a dog.

Take care,

sorry for your pup. sure is amazing how much we fall in love with them. My golden retriever dog had a similar immune system episode that a specialist Vet cured. His immune system started attacking his trigeminal sp? nerve she said. He couldn't eat or drink like his muzzle was numb. His tongue seemed to be swollen too. I can't remember all that was done but he ended up on a steroid regiment that we slowly weaned him back over a few months. They determined the dosage based on his white blood cell count or something like that. Good thing the prednisone sp? was cheap.

Does sound quite similar. Our vet said sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. With our dog she was almost gone before we got her to the vet. We didn't know what was wrong cause she wouldn't eat and then it was the weekend so by Monday she was very sick. They did blood transfusion, IVs, fed her with a tube( I think) ... The vet said they get about 4 cases a year per vet at the clinic, so kinda rare. He said about the same time there was another dog they lost with the same problem.

Just one member of our zoo:
My wifes dog Chloe - she goes to work with us and spends her days lounging around the office. Shown with a bandaged up foot from crashing into a fence at top speed while chasing a bunny in the back yard....

When it gets cold, and I go in to the office from the shop, she makes herself cozy in my chair:
