Dead end

Hi everyone.  My meningitis test came back negative.  So, we're back to square one.  I'm going to go back to my normal vet because the specialist said he's checked everything he can check and the only other thing left to do is a joint fluid test to test for an auto immune disease, so I'm going to go back to Dr. Mike for that.  If that's negative... it looks like we're heading to Cornell University, which is one of the best places for injured or sick animals.  It's about 2.5 hours from my house, but I'd have the best doctors of all types looking at me and trying to figure my ouchies out.

But, I've gotten progressively more ouchie since Friday... seems like every time I move, I hurt :-(  I can't even sleep through the night with out hurting and I wake the momma up about every 45 minutes with my ouchies.  I got to sleep in the bed with her and dad, but that only helped for an hour or two... then I was still ouchie.  So, mom and I have been snoozing on the couch, where I'm a little more comfortable and only wake up every hour and a half, or two hours if I'm lucky.

On another note... remember my buddy Emmett?  He's over visiting while Heather is on vacation.  Emmett and I are like brothers from another mother.  He's my best bud in the whole wide world, with 4 legs.  Usually we play like crazy when he's over, but he understands my ouchies, and we've just been hanging out on the couch.
Sorry the picture is so dark... it was taken with the momma's phone.
I'm in the back... sometimes it's hard to tell me and Emmett apart!
We both have super handsome good looks.


Also, my dear friend Fred had to leave us for the bridge this weekend... if you could, please stop over to his momma Kari's blog at Hound Girl and leave her some love and support.  Fred was a young, special guy, I'm surely going to miss him and I know his momma's heart is broken...  Run free, big buddy.


And, my furiend Ronnii crossed the bridge last week too... very said times in blogville to lose such great pups.  Please stop over to her blog and leave some words of support for Momma Tea and her fursiblings.

Run free, my furiends... run free.

  2. Corbin, dude, has you considered trying a chiropractor? They cannot fix efurrything but it duss not cost lots of green papers and it can't hurt to try. I LOVE going to my chiropractor. Fur one, he gibs me chickun jerkey. I can be bought. There be no needles, no alien probes, no nuttin. It's just like getting massages and butt skritches. If'n you want I can ask mine if'n he knows sumbuddy good in your area. Mom has his email. He used to be like an officer with the vet chiropractor club or sumpin so he mite know lots of his kind. Lemme know.

  13. We hear wonderful things about that Cornell place. Mom once used the Tufts Veterinary School in Massachusetts for Dakota and found them to be very thorough and caring. We hope that you can find that elusive answer to what is going on soon AND a way to fix it.

  17. Oh Corbin, I'm sorry you still have ouchies. Did they check your nerves?

    We were sad this week at so many pups going to the bridge.

    We are praying they find out whats wrong with you.

  18. Corbin,
    This is very bad news indeed. I hope that the vet school will have lots of hot young doctors with great ideas on what could be wrong. I like our vet school because I know that the doctors and interns all have their heads stuffed full of the latest medicine news for sure. I am anxiously awaiting the results. Tell your mom to bring her camera and her sense of humor. You know what? It is so far away, maybe your mom might even want to book a hotel room in case you have a sleep over there.

    Slobbers,
    Mango

  22. Not knowing the answer is always hard, I hope Dr. Mike can help find out what your ouchie is and cure it. Our paws are crossed for you all the time!

    So sad that so many friends have crossed over the Bridge, hope they are running free and playing happily there now.

  23. Mr. Corbin, I think it's time you started on the ganja treatment. I think cuz we're dogs that we don't has to smoke it. I'm pretty sure you can just find yourself a bush of ganja and eats it. Maybe Puddles will send you some of her's.

    Peace out, HoneyBuzz
