Pam - I'm so sorry about Lola. Please don't say you feel like a bad mom. You're so attentive to both Lola and Frankie. We can't always tell if it's a little something that will pass or the start of something worse. I'm sorry if this seems dumb but my memory isn't what it once was, but what is it that she's been diagnosed with? Was it the GME you were referring to? I can only imagine how you felt to see her having a seizure. I'm sending thoughts and prayers to you and Lola for her to get better.:grouphug: She's way too young for this.

:smootch:pam - it does sound like better news.Thanks for explaining things to me as well. I did remember your going thru the initial bout but couldn't remember exactly what was going on. It just may be taking Lola a while to recover from whatever was going on this time. With her immune system compromised they don't bounce back as easily or as fast. I also know what a double edged sword prednisone is. Can cure a lot but can cause a lot of issues. I know this from my DS and relatives with severe asthma so I can only imagine with our little Malts. Did the urine come back yet? Hoping Dr. Sullivan can help and praying for Lola. It just breaks my heart reading about Lola and I'm so hoping this is just an incident that can be overcome. In the meantime, please take care of yourself.:hugging:

:smcry: Pam, so very hard. I'm writing this thru tears. I really hope these meds will work. I'm sure that Lola's snarliness is from being poked and prodded so much and feeling crappy and I know prednisone makes them crazy too so that can be more piled on. I'd snarl too. I know you want to do what's best for her and hope the meds will turn around her latest bout. Otherwise I agree that if she's miserable it's hard to see them not enjoy even the simple pleasures in life and be in pain. I'm praying that she'll respond and not throw in the towel either. How did she get encephalitis in the first place...insect bite? Not knowledgeable about that (and other things). You sound like you have an awesome doctor in Dr. Sullivan. You're blessed. Sending hugs to both of you from both of us.:grouphug:
