My biggest question is -- how did your vet originally diagnose the pano?
Did
he actually shoot films of the affected limb? unaffected limbs? I ask this
because I too have an animal suffering from pano, and if x-rays can no
longer
be believed, we're all in deep trouble! TIA -- Susan
I am going to answer a bit of this for Angela, and she can fill in the
blanks. Her vet xrayed, pano was there but was a secondary problem, not the
cause
of what was going on with her pup. From what I can understand from the
neurologist at the OVC (Ontario Veterinary College) diagnosing myelitis,
scarily
enough, is understanding it symptomatically. Meaning, you have to
understand what you are looking at to help guide you to the diagnosis. I had
never
seen a pup like this one until it hit my boy. Angela had a gut feeling there
was more than pano going on, why she came on the list looking for idea's.
Not saying pano is not there, but it is not the underlying cause, and may,
just may as Kathy S and I have speculated be indicative that pano "could" too
be the result of an infection. The fact that Albon is clearing it up for
same points that way. Not a vet here, but finding out what was wrong with my
boy was difficult, and we only got there with some help and thoughts from a
good friend who seeing my pup thought it looked very similar to EPM in horses.
I have another large boned pup in this litter that looks as tough he may be
headed just in the direction of pano. When it hits, I am going to treat him
with TMS antibiotics and see as a test if it goes away. This one has peaked
my curiosity. Will keep you posted.
In the meantime, I am so happy for Angela that Luke is showing improvement
so quickly. It was the 5th day I noticed a change in my pup. And there are
others....I hope they have success with this also.
