Posted on Facebook by Central Illinois Sheltie Rescue about a little Sheltie they got yesterday:
Fawn Update: Thursday Mid-Day.
We have nothing. She is in ICU, at the U of I in Champaign.
The Neurology team is stumped, and are calling in the Toxocology team next. We are passing on all your suggestions to them.......so please keep them coming.
Symptoms are:
Approx 3-4 year old Tri-female. Weight 15#s. Back Legs are limp and unresponsive. Front legs are a bit better but not strong enough for her to stand. She is refusing food. All her labs are fine....kidney, liver etc etc etc. All her Xrays are normal.
They do not think it is a spinal cord injury just based on their findings. They are testing her now for some pretty exotic diseases.....but are not hopeful. No ticks were found anywhere on her. No apparent trauma to her body. Pads on her feet are worn, so we know she could walk at some point.....meaning this is a recent event.
So we are looking for a needle in a haystack. Poison? Disease?
Any medical folks out there want to offer a suggestion, we are all ears.
You all are so awesome and there are so many of you, that I'm hoping someone can come up with a suggestion, thought, idea for this little dog.
You can post to CISR on FB and Natalie will see any ideas you all have.
I'm hoping sooooo hoping someone can help this little girl.
