meningitus

hi , my staffy has meningitus and is very poorly she has paralysis of her right leg at the moment and is on steriods and other meds, i was just wondering if any body else has gone through this with there staffy, its a very worrying time for us all shes a lovely dog thanx

I'm sure you are very worried. Sorry not been through it myself (touch wood) Someone on here will be able to help I'm sure of that. Sorry I can't x

hi thats fine, its been horrible we had been on holiday and she was in the kennels took sick in there the day before we flew back, took her straight to the vets the following day who did some tests apparantly its uncommon and hard to diagnose, she became much sicker with lots more trips to vets and more tests then finally she collapsed on the way to the vets again who took her straight in and diagnosed her with it , its heart breaking shes such a lovely dog and i really dont know what the outcome will be

awww poor ruby when i come back from seeing my nan i do plenty of research for you if you like

What a worrying time for you and your family I have no experiance of it myself,but i just wanted to wish her well,and hope she recovers soon >< x

How sad......I hope she pulls through. Me and Blue send our love ><

hope ruby will be ok. my heart goes out to you.

thanks guys will let u know what the vet says in the morning

just been to the vets and they have re admitted her the out look is bad she has 2 days to improve on the heavy dose of steriods and other meds there gonna put in her as well as the drip,

Oh, poor thing. My only experience with meningitis was with my young nephew - never with a dog, so I'm not much help, I'm afraid. My nephew was VERY ill for several days but pulled through and is now fit & healthy.

Sending loads of cyber hugs & prayers & really hope she's on the road to recovery soon.
