Please Save a Little Dog

Dear Madame,
Dear Sir,





First I need to introduce myself, I am a lady who lives in Bucharest, Romania. I found on the street 4 years ago a wonderful bichon havanese.  I am writing to you because the dog is very sick and nobody here found a diagnosis for him. Maybe you can help with a diagnostic.
In April 2010 he falled down from an armchair, he was screaming  many minutes because of the pains and for a hour he was paralised. After that he started to have problems with his walking. He is making efforts on walking. Now he doesn't walk almost at all. He recovered from the paralisis stage but still got problems with the walk. One month after this he's got babesiosis who was treated and he felt better. A long time he got fever and muscle and articular pains and that's why the vets here thought it is Lyme. He took a lot of anthibiotics, a lot of doxicycline but without any results. Neither the Lyme tests showed he is got the disease.
Each vet said another diagnosis and the dog is suffering a lot. He has big pains and screams especially by night. If you try to tocuh a paw he is screaming, a lot of sufferince.

We cured babesia but still remains the pains and fever. From September 2010 he doesn't walk anymore.

All this time he was treated by 19 vets, they tried treatments for Bartonella, Erlichia, Lyme, Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Xanthinuria and many other diseases. A lot of Doxycicline, pain medicins, rymadil, Norocarp but also Omega 3, vitamins, Liv 52. If it is important, I can send you scan of test results, echography (all normal results), and all the drugs he took (many!). An A 4 paper full of medicins that Bibi took in 2010.

Vaccination status: none in 2010, none in 2011 due to his condition, the years before he was vaccinated, last time in April 2009. Vets thought at a stage he's got an autoimmune arthritis but only by guessing because we do not have in Romania a lab test for such a disease, no tests for something like this. Vets here decided not to vaccinate him last year, probably this year will be the same in case we do not find the diagnosis and the poor dog still suffers after so many treatments.

Maybe the last analysis results would be of interest, thank you:

Date: 14.04.2011

CHOL= 3.77mmol/L

ALKP= 1039 U/L Hi

ALB = 24 g/L

CREA = 34 umol/L  LOw

ALT = 52 U/L

AMYL = 875 U/L

Ca =  2.37 mmol/L

GLU = 6.82 mmol/L

UREA = 4.7 mmol/L

PHOS = 1.35 mmol/L

TP = 83 g/L HI

TBIL = 4 umol/L

GLOB = 58 g/L HI

Serum Uric Acid 1.3 mg/dl 

The fever dissapeared when antinflamatory products were taken. We tried Trocoxil, no results, we try now Onsior 10 mg, little results. Best was Norocarp, the Irish product but we do not find it here, the original product. When he takes antiinflamatory products he is ok, he doesn't wal normally but still he is trying to walk a little. Otherwise is like a baby who now start to learn to walk, doesn's have any stability in his poor little paws.
His other functions are ok, eats normally, drink water, everything ok.
I now I can not give him pain medicins all his life, we do not know what the dog is suffering of, I don't want to see him die day by day/ Maybe there is something I ca do.

Why am I writing to you? I am afraid he'll die, he doesn't have any medication now, severe pains and no diagnosis.

Maybe you have an advice for me.

I attach some X rays and some pictures of him. Maybe you will feel pitty for us and give  advice what to do.

The dog can not be transported because he was not vaccinated, the vets refused to do this.

I love him very, very much.

Thank you and God Bless you.


Bellow are his X rays and his photos.
