Pika's HLP: Update (Great News!!!) - 02/11/06 01:10 AM
[:"green"]As most of you know, Pika was diagnosed with HLP (Hind Leg Paralysis) a couple of weeks ago. I brought her in this past Tuesday for another blood-draw and today I got the results. Great news!!! Both her Calcium & her Phosphorus levels are back to within "normal" range!!! I'm so very happy about this! The vet is going to examine her again in a couple of weeks, and in the meantime, she has recommended that I start giving her the Neocalglucon every other day instead of every day.
Thank you, everyone, for your prayers - God has listened and granted our request: to bring Pika back to "normal" levels <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />.
Editted to add picture of Pika taken today. If you look at her back leg, you may be able to notice that it's kind of "stiff" looking. She really doesn't bend it at the knee at all, even when she walks... This is part of the HLP.
