bobbie Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 thanks asslinn,i know its hereditary in malamutes ,but the vets have said this is viral as it happened so fast ,hes not in any pain and hes bright ,ive kept the hope that he would fight it as hes not even 2 yet ,but its breaking my heart to see him unable to move ,think im just hoping that someone else has had a happy ending to give me a bit of hope ,im trying everything i can but his options are running out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmscott Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 · Hidden Hidden Google Karen Yeargain. She owns Tumnatki kennels and is doing research into similar conditions.

wishbone Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 This is heartbreaking to hear, hope your buddy gets well soon. Karen really seemed very technical with her research, hope she can find out something that would help on those nerves to regenerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmscott Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 · Hidden Hidden Since the link to Karen's Siberian Husky Health Research has been deleted, can the link to her kennel be posted? Link to comment
mydiamond Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Since the link to Karen's Siberian Husky Health Research has been deleted, can the link to her kennel be posted? does the website have puppies for sale? Unfortunately links containing animals for sale aren't allowed either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmscott Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 · Hidden Hidden Yes, but I think this information is VERY important to the health of the breed. Can some information about the research be posted? Link to comment
mydiamond Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yes, but I think this information is VERY important to the health of the breed. Can some information about the research be posted? I think you can copy and paste that part of the site... or take a screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 As long as the research doesn't contain any information about donating, or the transfer of monies, then I don't see why not. You can easily just copy and paste the research material here. But do not post the URL - I'm sure people can use Google to figure it out.

bobbie Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 thought i would give an update incase anyone has the same problems in the future .Cujo has stayed at the hospital this week to monitor the effects of the steroids .hes not had any bad side effects ,but hes still showing no improvement .its now coming up to 5 weeks ,hes still very bright and not in any pain.we have decided to bring him home for the week end ,and then send him on a two week intense course to try and build up his muscle as its wasted away over the last few weeks .Its the only thing left that we can do ,and we are just praying at the end of the therapy he has some significant signs of improvement ,to give us hope that he will eventualy walk again .i have decided to take each day as it comes ,and hope the fact he is a young dog will go in his favour x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterchillz Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 So sad to hear that I'm sorry for your loss ... Run free, Cujo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmscott Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 · Hidden Hidden I am so sorry for your loss. Were you ever able to get in touch with Karen? While it might not help them at all, the medical records from your pup may be able to help them with their own research. Its something to consider. Run Free Cujo. Link to comment
bobbie Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 thank you ,and no ,i must of mailed 10 people and no one got back ,think i just wanted someone to say ",ye my dog had something similar "just needed someone to talk to ,but it seemed breaders were only interested in wether or not their dogs were carriers ,there is a mallamute site just for dogs with pn ,but noone was interested .if anyone reads this in the future ,i will always be here for them to talk to ,i know things didnt turn out good for me ,but as i said sometimes you just need someone to listen xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
