Misty and Levi Update

Posted by juliedee101 on May 18, 2010 at 11:40 PM

It is bitter sweet that Misty and Levi have responded to the recent treatment with steroids...Levi has regained his appetite and Misty is walking straighter, maybe a little slow, but still and all in a straight line.  That is the sweet part, but overall, that they responded to the steroid treatment means that there is most likely a tumor that is impacting Misty's motor skills and muscle control and the steroids have just relieved some of the pressure by shrinking it temporarily.

 

In Levi's case, he may have just responded to the fact that Misty is feeling better so he was willing to get back to normal cause she was not going to die any time soon or it could mean, like the vet suspects, that he also has a tumor in his adnoid that is pressing on his appetite center and the treatment also caused it to shrink, temporarily.

 

In any event, I will take whatever time we have left together while they are feeling good, if it is only another 6 months, I am going to make them the best 6 months of their lives...lush pasture, all you can eat senior feed, treats, whatever their hearts desire. 

 

Misty has taken to whinnying at me when she hears my voice.  I think I will surely miss her greeting.  She is such a wonderful old lady.
