ok, first of all…tripe? YUCK. (cody bear says SCORE!)
sorry to hear about tucker’s confusing diagnosis. please keep us all posted.
dennis, dear vizsla dog, don’t take it personally, loved ones get sick. auto immune is tough, but not always super bad….so you and trixie and tucker (and mama and dad) be strong.
on a side note: this might be a good week not to ruin anything. your parents are probably worried about vet bills.
cody bear and i are alwayyys on the look for addison’s disease, as his condition is a precursor. so know that our thoughts and cuddles are with you. be strong….your a dog. nothin’ better than that!

TRIPE! I LOVE TRIPE! Dad says the next time we buy some it has to come pre-cut because he’s not cutting the 5lb tube with his nice table saw again.
I do hope Tucker’s condition gets better and they can figure out what’s going on. The worst part is not knowing and being unable to do anything. I heard in the UK they have something called myositis. Being lethargic I think is one of the symptom Hope the link comes through. Look on the right side for description of illness. It might be something to at least rule out.
Our thoughts are with you!
Rocket & family

Aw, sorry to hear about Tucker. I hope they figure out what’s wrong with him soon! I know the frustration of having an illness that the vets can’t diagnose. They still can’t figure out what’s wrong with Loki’s tummy/allergies, so I’ve stopped ordering tests, and now just feed him only what I know he can handle.
Tripe. Mmm… unfortunately, Loki will eat anything, so whether he actually likes it or not I guess we’ll never know.

Get well soon Tucker!

The myasthenia gravis test came back negative, so it’s still a big mystery what’s going on. Tucker will be seeing the neurologist on Thursday so perhaps we’ll have more information then.
