It's been awhile since we've posted, but we've been dealing with Brighton's health issues these few weeks. His general lameness and weakness in his hind legs have persisted, and we've been to 3 different vets now. After more xrays, bloodwork, and a host of other medical tests, we still have no diagnosis. All we know is that he has a very low Magnesium level.
We're taking it day-by-day. Some days are better than others, when he stands up and enjoys spending some time outside. On his "bad" days, he just lays in bed all day and barely moves. Seeing him like that, as a 6-month old puppy, breaks our hearts. We've had to stop attending his Puppy 2 class too, because he's falling further and further behind and is unable to interact with most of the puppy agility equipment. Fortunately, he has already mastered basic obedience.
Starting yesterday, we're trying something new with his diet, incorporating in some Mg supplements, and we're hopeful that this may lead to an improvement over the next few weeks. We're also looking forward to some potential new changes that may be happening over the new few weeks as well. Stay tuned!
