Since rescuing max 3 1\2 yrs ago he has had allergies, low thyroid, then six month later pancreatitus., sludge in his bladder. I have tried cooking food, every kinds of dog food lately grain free. His spec cpl average greater then 1000 and now his thyroid is .6, I go to a vet, allergist and internist! His demenor has always been the same, low energy, no play, but a love. I am writing this in tears, he will be six on Sunday and I have promised him I would make him better and nothing is better. Thousands of dollars of test, ultra sounds and blood work. Does anyone of the vets here have any suggestions? I have a web site of all his tests. The allergist doesn't want to raise his thyrozine for fear it would harm his pancreas more!!!! I am so worried he is in pain because he walks so slow and sleeps a lot.
Please where can I get help for my Max
 
What did your vet say about the spec cpl being so high ? Is Max having an acute attack ? Sorry ,you seem to be doing all you can for Max and it very hard to see him feeling so bad.

I would call Dr Jean Dodds and ask for her advice.

here is her # at www.Hemopet.org 310-453-5240

She has always been very generous and kind in offering help to many of us here. She had me fax all of Gypsy's tests to her and got back to me very quickly. I have always made a donation on her website when I have talked with her but she has never asked me too.
 
Because he was showing no signs, other then finicky eating, she gave him fluids under the skin and a diet of boiled chicken with yogurt, beans and other veggies and fruits. I am back feeding him four times a day. I was doing two reg meals with green beans at noon and 9pm so he always had something in his stomach. We are also cutting back back and eventually stopping for awhile his temerol p.
Thanks you I am going to call dr dodds because his allergist is hesitating upping his thyroid meds and he is very low again!! We've never got his at the levels he should be since my old vet didn't believe he should be on the high side of his thyroid!
Thank you for caring.
 
They don't know what is causing it. Maybe food, which I don't agree but will be seeing a nutritionist too. He has anti nausea meds, but I don't think he is now.
