In the course of Petro illness, he has gotten so old looking, muscle tone gone, sagging belly, and bones showing. He needs help getting up, can't stand for very long. He poops twice a week, pees once a day. Yet, he looks at me with bright eyes and an alert face and ask, "Is it mealtime?". He is drinking and eating ok but that is a contradiction to his illness.
I don't understand why he is so weak in the legs. I have contacted Purdue and University of Illinois and I ask for a consultation to look at the medical records of his regular vet, the internist, the oncologist, and the cardiologist, plus the results of xrays and ultrasounds. I asked that they evaluate the records and provide a plan of what they would do to help Petro. The response that I got was to make an appointment and bring the dog in. Not what I wanted. So I am stuck with no medical help and Petro and me are on our own.
