Update on Chief

[Guest guest]

It seems with all the medicines I have brought him and leashes nothing has has

worked.

Chief can't walk at all now. His two back legs just collapse underneath him.I

have to carry him from his bedroom to the lounge room...which is really hard for

me.

I got the Help'em up Harness a few days ago. The back part of the harness after

a few days must have been pressing on a gland or something because his whole

left leg swelled up with fluid. I took the rear part of the harness off and the

next day his swelling went down.

I'm now looking at a cart or doggy wheelchair for chief.

Chief is still in good spirits, still happy and sleeps alot. He must be

wondering why he can't get up and do the things he used to anymore? He has

learnt to bark (even with his old dog quite bark) when he wants to be moved or

need some water or attention lol :-)

I haven't noticed any healing effects of the ORMUS yet on Chief or myself.

I won't be trying the LDN as the Degenerative Mylopepathy Group has had no

success with it...This is the response from a Post on LDN that I put on the

degenerative myelopathy Yahoo group.

Re: [degenerativemyelopathylist] Anyone tried LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone)?

" We have had people try it and the general consenus seemed to be that while the

dog showed an intitial improvement, they then seemed to go downhill faster. At

least that happened with one dog for sure. It is not something that is

recommended so we do not encourage discussion on it, since it could actually be

harmful. "

So I have spent alot of money for no Gain for me or Chief. This is what had

happen when I tried to help my mum and nothing has worked for my Chronic fatigue

or Asthma.

So once Someone in my family gets sick there is no cure! No matter how hard I

try!
