Forgot to mention Missy's latest vet visit. Her billirubin and ALP are perfect. The ALT is still up, but not skyhigh like in the beginning. As long as we keep the billirubin and ALP low, she will be fine. She still has to stay on her steroid but the antibiotic can be stopped. YEAH AFTER 2 1/2 YEARS we can stop torturing her with that huge pill! The steroid is flavored liquid so she doesn't mind that. Vet was amazed that we've kept her alive this long. He said the liver disease will never go completely away, but she is as close to being cured as possible. I know I am very lucky to have such a top notch vet specialist in my area. People come from hours away for him. He is not my regular vet, my regular vet sent me to him when he couldn't save Missy. Obviously, I am glad he did even after $6,000.00. She is daddy's girl and I don't know what Neil would do without her. Well, now Davey is yelling for attention so I must go. Take care all!! -- Piggy's Pad

Oh, Ramona, that's such wonderful news. It's nice to come here and find that you (or someone) has posted good news and we can celebrate. I agree with Denise..........this is something to be totally thankful for. May God bless Missy and I hope her blood values stay where they are for a good long time. How fantastic!
