19 October
It was late afternoon when we took shiro to the vet in Taman Segar. He was lethargic and suffered from a loss of appetite. He appeared to have a fever too for the past few days. The vet assured us that he just had skin problem.
The following day, we noticed his right leg twitching. At that time, we thought there's worm in his stomach causing the movement. Dad did noticed a worm hanging behind him after we gave him deworming medicine.
Little did we know our nightmare was about to begin.
24 October
Shiro's condition worsened. Took him to the another vet in Taman Segar, the one who cured him of a virus when he was about a year old. We were told the virus came back. The vet could do nothing but to gave us antibiotics and medicine for seizure. If he recovered within a week, then he will be fine.
28 October
I got the news at about 3pm. Shiro had a seizure in the morning. Suddenly, I couldn't think. I rushed home and took him to another vet in the city centre. The nurse was stunned when she saw him. Then the vet came out and without even going near Shiro, he told us there's no chance of surviving. It had reached the acute phase. The vet looked at us, his eyes unforgiving. He gave us two options - to put him down (the more humane option) or to take him home.
29 October
I refused to give up and found a vet in Putra Heights who had done the NDV procedure. We rushed there. The vet was a very kind man. He looked at Shiro with sad eyes and delivered the bad news. They had little success with the treatment especially when the virus had already reached the nervous system. We were advised to keep him as comfortable as possible. But, the moment he can't eat anymore, we should put him down.
Throughout the car ride, Shiro tried to hold up his head to look out the window. If a dog was dying, would he look as alert as that?
When I wrote to Dr. Sears, he told me not to give up but to find someone who is willing to undertake the procedure.
30 October
We began our own treatment using vitamin C and nano silver. That morning, he could crawled out and stood up for awhile. There were progress.
31 October
Another seizure came.
1 November
Shiro was able to keep his head up to look at us. But there were no change to his twitching. Sometimes it was rapid, sometimes it slowed.
2 November
He laid on his side the whole day. The only signs that gave us hope was when he whine barked 3 times to get our attention to feed him. He was hungry and his appetite was improving. There were times when his twitching eased a little, allowing him to sleep. We kept disinfecting his surrounding and ensured that he was warm. I was worried bout his heavy breathing. We tried to keep his nose moist by putting aloe vera gel on top. At times, we used the colloidal silver for his nose, skin and foot.
What else can I do?
