Corbin's momma here... Corbin has gotten very sick again. His ouchies have come back - although, not nearly as often. But the fact that he's still in pain on the steroid is worrysome. He's lost a lot of weight and almost all of his muscle tone. You can see his spine, hip bones and you can feel his ribs. His gums are pasty white and he's very lethargic. He's eating, drinking and going to the bathroom fine... so I guess that's a positive. But, he's not our happy Corbin.
We were away on vacation last week -which I almost cancelled last minute. I guess it took a week away from him to see how much he's really gone down hill. He was fine while at Heather's, eating and drinking and not anxious or pacey, so I don't think any of this is/was stress related. The weight/muscle loss started before we left. Dr. Mike is afraid the pale gums are a cardiovascular issue, so we're heading in to Dr. Gordon - another vet that has been treating Corbin.
Please say a prayer for my boy.... The hardest part is not knowing what is causing all of this :-(
Sending love for Corbin and you

Poor Corbin and poor Mom. It must be so frustrating not knowing what you are dealing with. Do you live anywhere near a veterinary university hospital where you might be able to see a wide range of specialists? We so wish you could find some way to make Corbin better.

We live near Cornell University (about 2.5 hours away) and Tuffs University (about 3 hours away). We've discussed going there, but have held off. Our vet has been in contact with Cornell about Corbin's case. I think we're a few steps closer to making the drive now though. He just continues to get worse.
DeleteDear Sweet Corbin, I am so SO very sorry that you are so sick. I will have you in my heart and in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteErnie and I will both cross our paws very tightly. Please take these good strong VIBES to the Vet with you.
VIBES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sending lots of power of the paws prayers....come on Corbin, you have to figure out a way to let those vets know what is going on so they can fix you up. Mom always says "it's times like this that she wishes we could talk out in human talk". We agree with the OP pack.....that is what we had to do with Reilly - go the university of Texas veterinary sciences to find out what was wrong with him.
ReplyDeleteCorbin,
ReplyDeleteI hate that you've been so sick. Lincoln and I have been praying for you lots!
Poor baby.
