Karyn, I'm thinking of you!  Please let us know if there is anything we can
do besides keep you in our thoughts and prayers.  Give Met a big hug and I'm
sending you a sybar hug.

Michelle and Josie

Met will be having surgery- the date is unknown at the moment. I was a
recipient of an IAADP  VCP grant (Veterinary Care Partnership) for the
cytology test. From what I learned this morning, I can be granted up to
$1,000.00 which sounds like it would cover at least most of it. I am waiting
to hear back from Melissa at the vet office though that they in fact did get
that OK'd. If not, I work with a wonderful vet and they are willing to work
with me on the financial aspect. Their priority is Met. Of course I have
many concerns but Met needs this and I just have to pray he will be OK. He
will be in the best possible hands for this area that he could be in so
thats a big plus. The facility is state of the art (built just 3 years ago
this summer) that can handle anything that happens during surgery too. Met
has a weak blood brain barrier which is probably what enabled the vaccinosis
to hit him so hard to begin with- so it could be interesting afterwards. I
have heard that BCs do have this tendency towards the weaker blood/brain
barrier- but its not a rule of thumb. The drug being used for anesthesia  on
him is actually one that is used at lower levels for many status epilepsy
situations by ERs and neurologists for canines so hopefully there will not
be any problems. They are avoiding valium, Acepromazine (ACE) and Ketamine
thankfully. Anyway I will keep you all posted about the date, outcome, etc
For now, I am to leave it open but clean it up with peroxide. We are not
officially working outside the home now. He gets a walk however far he wants
but when it was really oozing- there was no way. The peroxide is helping a
lot though. The cytology basically released the buildup of what was an
additional problem- a bacterial infection- fun! NOT!
Anyway sorry for being so OT but thought you would like to know what has
been decided.

Karyn
