Just logged one, so sorry your Rosie is in the vets, it is the best place. I don't know which vet you use. There is one who is up to speed on things like this, immune mediated problems in the Oakhampton area. A friend of mine had the same problem with one of her bitches, I'll find out tomorrow who she uses.

Thinking of you and Rosie.

Hope she is better tomorrow , she is in the right place .

I know my daughter has seen quite a few whippets with steroid responsive meningitis . She would expect the blood results to be normal .

In all the cases she has seen the whippets made a full recovery .

Thank you Anne, that would be really useful. She is with an Okehampton vet pratice but there are two in the area so it may be the other one :unsure:

Thanks, Nicky hun. It's really hard but because of you and Tia it has made it easier for all of us who have come up against this awful illness. Your support has been a Godsend xx

Thanks you Alison I am hoping to be able to talk with my vet tomorrow morning and find out exactly why she feels that Rosie's "pattern" doesn't indicate meningitis. Not sure if she's going on bloods or if some other symptom isn't showing up :unsure: Whichever way, all the research I have done today suggests that not all symptoms are always present so on those grounds I would favour treating for SRM rather than waiting for it to, potentially, become worse

I guess it all depends on whether the IV antibiotics work or not.

I get the feeling that the diagnosis is based on the fact that other things have been ruled out .

Oh Jane ... I'm so sorry to be reading this ... hugest hugs to Rosie and to you :huggles: Logging on after being at my Dad's all day this was the last thing I expected to see I spent enough time with the lovely Rosie last Sunday to know what a star she is :wub: The boys send one of their favourite girls the gentlest of healing licks. Every good wish for her speedy recovery :luck:

POOR BABYX it took three weeks for the vet to transfer casanova to the aht and they diagnosed meningitas and polyarthiritus please insist on being transfered as most normal vets havent a clue, btw he responded straight awayy to steriods and after lowering the dose very slowly is now of them completely good luck and hugs all round

Sending best wishes to You and Rosie xxx

We are praying for good news for you this morning Jane. :huggles:

 

[boothros]

Oh Jane, I'm so sorry, Ive only just caught up with this post, poor Rosie. So hope you have better news today, but if not please consider what Serena said carefully, this would not be the first time that I've heard of vets holding off the steroids until they think they are sure, when the animal could have been treated that much more quickly. Sure you have considerd that yourself though, sending you all the luck & love in the world and gentle hugs to lovely Rosie, God don't it just kill you when they are ill!!

The vet has just phoned to say that I can come and pick Rosie up.

Her temperature has stayed down and she is much brighter so the next stage is to see if the improvement is maintained when she is back home.

Thank you for all the good wishes It has kept me going to know that so many people are there :thumbsup:

I will start a new thread to keep everyone updated on her progress
