Prayers For Prancer- A Beautiful dog- for renopetpro

"I am writing this to ask for prayers.   Prancer has a tumor on his liver that needs to be removed.   We don't know if it is benign or malignant, but even a benign tumor poses a threat because it can rupture and he can bleed to death in a matter of minutes.   He had the surgery scheduled for December 28th, but then on December 26th, he had a stroke.   He was unable to walk normally for two days.   He also had a severe head tilt to the right and was very dizzy and disoriented for several days.   He is almost back to normal now, but still has a head tilt to the right and is still somewhat unsteady on his feet.  The arthritis in his spine and elbows doesn't help that any either. We saw a neurologist on January 25th and she said there is still some residual vestibular disease.    He becomes dizzy and has a nystagmus (rapid circular eye movement) when put on his back.   He is therefore unfit for surgery at this time.   He has now developed an abscess in a toe on his left rear paw.   We are treating him for this

We return to the neurologist on February 8th to further evaluate his condition.   He is taking glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM for his arthritis/joint support, bee pollen and yucca to boost his immune system, milk thistle and SAM-e to protect his liver, and now an antibiotic for the infection in his toe.   He's getting a lot of cheese and peanut butter which he loves.

His attitude is wonderful. He is quite active considering his medical condition. He is playing with toys and has a very positive outlook. This is helping him immeasurably. 

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I will keep you all posted.

Blessings to all!"
