Hi Micheal, thanks for your concern, today my peke (his name is Kotaro) is back to normal again, thanks to the vet who has given me some good advise and also prescribed some medication for him, he wanted me to confined him in his bed for 14 days with complete rest and after 2 weeks i noticed that he is back to his normal self again. I am very happy for his recovery and now need to be extra careful with him on his daily activities.
Sorry to hear about your dog and what you have gone through, hope you are over it now and maybe have found you 2nd dog.

Best Regards
Grace
