Hi all - wow I can't say enough about your kindness- thanks and God Bless.  I am encouraged today.  Moose is not any worse - we are on day 6 of Sporanox.  He will eat ham if hand fed but at least that is something - he is not dehydrated.  He still has fevers off and on but the lameness is gone.  He has a runny nose but no coughing.  His left eye is really bad, though.  It is cloudy and swollen.  I am taking him in tomorrow for the vet to look at it. I am afraid he will not regain sight there.  He sleeps well and actually chased our cat across the porch today!  So what do you all think?  Any thoughts on the eye?  He has no more cysts I can feel - just the one on the hind leg her was carrying and it feels smaller - no draining sores. Will keep you all up-to-date.  I have not heard many optomistic thoughts from the vets I have visited with - that is discouraging!   Do you think there are so many sad endings because it is misdiagnosed and too far gone once treatment is started?  I am really hoping we caught it early enough - 5 days after first symptoms started?  Time will tell..... your prayers and positive thoughts are working....

wow what wonderful news!!! i am sooo happy for you
and if moose does go blind i have seen many blind dogs live normal happy lives
as for the vets i do know at my clinic the vet that owns the clinic really did not think wilson would make it and so did one of the techs i think with the new treatments out there from what there use to be and peopel willing to go that extra mile to save there loved ones lives they are starting to more happy endings (end willing to spend the money) i know most people though i was crazy i am a single mom and make $10 an hour but we did it (thanks jen for the wonderful tip on where to get meds cheaper)
good job on getting moose this far!!
