Merlin and his friend need some prayers (SCI)

Sophie, I am just heartsick to hear this. I never knew about SCI. Here's hoping they find out what's causing it. I the mean time, sending prayers and best wishes to Merlin and Lloyd -- and all UK dogs suffering from this mystery illness.
 
The good news is Merlin has really perked up and is looking much like his old self, he even barked at me when I had to leave the house:wink2: The bad news is Lloyd is still on IV fluids at the vets, seems he has been hit really hard. It is strange illness that began on the Sandringham estate last year.

The latest theory is that it might be mushroom spores, as it only hits dogs in early autumn and in woodland, but the real mystery is where has it come from?:confused2:

It needs to be solved as this can be fatal in some dogs.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, its been a scary 24 hours and for Lloyd's mum it is still worrying. I just wish I could wave a magic wand and make him better.
 
Good grief, adding my best wishes for Merlin and Lloyd's quick recovery. So strange an illness! It is the absolute worst knowing your furkid is hurting but sounds like at least Merlin is on the mend.

Figures Cadbury is fine! :smile2:
 
SO happy to hear he is on the mend. But very sorry to hear about Lloyd still being on IV's. My first thought was mushrooms. I know you have been worried sick about your boy. Will keep them both in my prayers an you too.

I called a freind today to ask about something for Zak and told her about Merlin. She had a friend at a dog show here in Florida this weekend and it got some type of lung infection and they can't save her. It was a sheltie. So very sad.

So sorry to hear of the illness of the little ones. Our thoughts are with you as you struggle through to find the cause and eliminate Merlin's symptoms.

Here is hoping from the bottom of my heart that Merlin and Lloyd will rally back to their sheltie strength and wellness.

Best,
Kate
 
That is scary! Bailey had a very bad stomach virus last summer that made her lose her appetite, lethargic, vomiting and severe bloody diarrhea. I was terrified and stayed up the whole night with her. I thought I was going to lose her. A few days later, my parent's dog came down with the same symptoms, but since we knew what to expect, they were treated right away and thankfully did not get as bad as Bailey.

It's extremely terrifying to see your baby so sick and it's so tough that they just can't tell you exactly what's wrong.

I hope Merlin and Lloyd are feeling better.
 
glad to hear Merlin is feeling almost like his old self! MY first thought too was a spore type of disease that it blooms and spreads...hope they find out the source of it sooner rather than later!!!
 
hmmm now that I read the links, I do remember someone talking about it last year in Nottingham Forest being affected....cant remember if it was someone on FB or even on here...
