It’s been an exciting week here filled with little positives as we’re finally beginning to see more of Monty’s personality extend out from under the drug haze! It’s simple things like attention towards other dogs, interest in long walks, and just plain willingness to hang out that we have been deprived of for so long that we are happy to be seeing again. He’s been off the antibiotic now for about a week so we are keeping a close eye on bathroom behavior to try to quickly spot any new UTI issue but so far so good. I’ve started feeding him a scrambled egg on the days he doesn’t get a chicken breast to keep pumping him full of protein to try to regain some of his lost weight and muscle mass which also appears to be paying off.
We’ve now passed 2 months since diagnosis and he continues to be doing better than anyone anticipated, so if you are reading this at the start of your GME journey take heart and have faith. It’s a difficult road but not impossible, and every moment is worthwhile…
Tomorrow Monty gets a farm chicken egg! And maybe even some Wagyu bacon!!
