Ellies has been a bit more active last few days. Vet appoinment yesterday, vet & her people are thrilled that she's some better, feeling hopeful. They are expecting it's the prednisone that is helping, I sure hope so! I think the rattie visit did a lot of good tho.
 
I am so glad that you were able to take her some friends and cheer her up. Poor Ellie sounds just miserable. I am still keeping her in my thoughts and prayers. I am so happy to hear the medicine is now working. Hopefully she will be back to herself in no time. (((HUGS))) :hugs: to you and your family and Ellie. :hugs:
 
Haven't had anything to say for a while, everythings still been up in the air, Ellie's come close to being put down mercifully twice now. but prednisone has been staving off new owies, tho it makes the old slow to heal. When I saw her today she came barking to the door and jumping on me & making her loving sounds, last visit when I took the ratties was the first time she didn't greet me that way. She still has owies all over (one horrible gash on the back of her neck from a biopsy) that aren't healing because of prednisone, shaved here & there, but no new horrors and she didn't stink of infection this time like last time. And Ellie's eating like a pig (prednisone effects I'm told) and regaining weight. My sister found a vet who is a skin specialist here, he may be able to help with diagnosis.
I'm SO grateful for your prayers or good hopes, they seem to be working.
 
I am so glad she seems to be doing a little better. I really hope this new doctor and figure out what is going on. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for your family that they can't figure out what is going on. Still keeping Ellie in my prayers :heart:
 
Ellie recovered and has been doing great! Apparently it was an autoimmune thing? Most of her fur has filled back in. My sis & her hubby have just sold their house and will be leaving Victoria end of March to go live in Panama. And Ellie will be going with them!!! I'll be sure she has a last rattie visit before they go..
Thankyou all so much for your care & the power of your prayers!!! She was within a day of getting P.T.S - I have no doubt your hopes worked magic.
 
Thankyou everybody so much! They say it takes a village to raise a child (even tho 1 person can do it) I say it takes a village to pray for child to be certain those voices are loud enough to get god's attention!
 
Ellie is healthy and more than happy living in Panama with her folks now.
I know you guys' hopes & prayers had a lot to do with that. She truly was within a day of getting put to sleep, that appointment was made, because multiple vets were at a loss.
Here's a couple pics of her, and one of her !Boyfriend! I guess there's hope for us all!
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
