Hello from Baltimore

By spinal stroke, I'm guessing FCE, unfortunately we do see that in shelties. I can remembering have a dog lose his appetite from it. Dogs appetite can be affected by pain or discomfort or having their routine disturbed. Possiblity a side effect from him losing his mobility? Depression? I don't know giving negative tests. I read in another post he is getting his movement back and that is great. I pray that he fully recovers.

The things we tested Chandler for after losing his appetite were complete series of blood tests CBC,we did an echo cardiogram,and ultra sound and nothing was found. He has been on medication for Pancreatitis since age 2 1/2. My vet was just saying recently he can't believe Chandler has survived with this for so many years. Of course he has been on medication since my vet made this discovery and he has frequent checkups. The tests I mentioned above are what I was referring to as negative. No Tumors,blockages,blood levels are good, etc.
I think I will call the neurologist on Monday that we saw when he had the spinal stroke and see if he has any suggestions my vet hasn't come up with and take him in to see him. He is at a great emergency hospital not far from me and they have an amazing practice with specialists in many areas.

Thanks so much for your response. I think you may be right with it maybe relating to pain. Dawn,Chandler and Gypsy
 
Thanks

Hi Lovely,
Thanks for the info. It's very interesting. I would love to see more pics of your dogs. The one in your profile picture is a beauty. But aren't all shelties.
 
Your pics are beautiful

Hi Lovely I went through all your pics today all your babies are beautiful. I also went through the ones from the Southern Gathering what fun. I told Chandler about Abigail who is absolutely stunning by the way. He's very excited and jumping for joy also. I've been spending the last few days going through all the forums and pics. It's great to have all this Sheltie knowledge at our fingertips.
 
Thanks so much. They aren't quite fluffy yet, like everyone else's babies, but they are getting there slowly.

This site is pretty amazing. Camaraderie, knowledge, and great stories abound!
