I have only just seen this and am so sorry this has happened to Willow.  Thinking of you.

Oh Willow, you have no idea how many people are so worried about you and praying for you to get better.  Please try hard Willow, your mummy and everyone on here need and want you so much to be well again.

So sorry Willow's ill again :( It is so stressful and absolutely devastating when our little one's have had such a tough time before. Cooper had polyarthritis although it took an awfully long time, lots of stress and drama to get a diagnosis (which is still not definitive but based on his response to treatment). Normally they would do a joint tap and see what types of inflammatory cells are lurking around.  If she does have it then steroids are the order of the day, just like the meninigitis, but other drugs can be added as well. Like DebH's Jasper, Coop has had a few relapses and at this point in time is on a very low dose of pred that I am trying to wean him off, but he is a happy active boy. CIMDA is a wonderful site, full of loads of knowledge and support. Hang in there, I know how difficult and worrying it is. Hugs to you and precious Willow from Coop and I.

Well they phoned me and I spoke to one of the nurses and she explained she had been a lot brighter this afternoon  :D she went on to say she had been 'running' about. I said, 'by running do you actually mean running' to which she replied 'yes'. So I said let me get this right, she has gone from a dog that could not move this morning and put any pressure on her back legs and stiff neck to running about!!!???  :o

She sounds like she has slept a lot and she said she had been having fuss with one of the other nurses and Willow fell asleep with her head in her hand awwww :luv: She hasnt has any more diahreoa and she has eaten. She said the specialist will be in touch in the morning. I cant fathom it all out!! Having said that when she was ill with the onset of meningitis before she was very up and down.

I hope we get some answers tmw its so quiet without her at home.  :'(

So glad she seems to be feeling better though  :D

that's fantastic news!  I hope that it's a full recovery for her.  This is exactly how Jarv recovers from his near death stomach upsets - it's almost like a miracle  (...I'm hoping that's all it was for her :luv: the last Jarvis had he couldn't/wouldn't walk for a few hours and I thought he'd been poisoned he went down so quickly  ph34r )

This sounds quite classic for polyarthritis I know with Jasper we thought he was having us on at the start he'd be limping on one leg one minute fine the next then limping on a different leg after that. Stress played a huge part in his symptoms too, if he got too stressed out it made him much worse he really waxed and waned until his meds were sorted. We are all keeping everything crossed in our house that she is stabilising. Hugs to you all.

It's certainly contradictory news but there seems to be a great improvement on how Willow was this morning. Try to relax and get some 'me' time this evening and, hopefully, you'll get some answers in the morning. Willow is in the best place this evening to help her on the road to recovery. Sending you a big cyber hug. Diana :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug:
