Update on Racer.
Racer developed muscle tremors after last entry and due to the severity of that he had to undergo blood panel and urine test. The tremors were intense causing every muscle to vibrate at high speed and his head got to jerk (tick) uncontrollable all the time even at rest. His liver and kidneys were elevated but not seriously and his sodium high and others low. In consultation with specialists ,different problems he could have, were brought up including lept0sporosis, which his vet felt it was not as we do not have it in our area, but went ahead and tested for it and Racer came up with positive 2 out of 7 but that is indicitive of a reading from dosage in a puppy shot he may of gotten at 8 wks from breeder. His vet does not vaccinate for that as it is not necessary. Many calls from the vet and my calls to him have taken up now almost 4 weeks. The Tremors came on as of 2 weeks ago the 7th. His vet feels his tests were indictive of deydration and lose of electrolites which I felt all along. So far the vet has not contacted me yet as to where to go from here, he has another VOM adjustment on the 15th but I think I will need to get more of one of his supplements if vet ever gets back to me from my call yesterday.
As of right now they have stopped, he is now playing and jumping around the house and yard. He is eating really well now and drinking lots of water.
It looks good for recovery from my view point.
