Angie Baldwin Baby Mescall
Baby Mescall is a 1yr old, female/spayed Maltese. Baby had been to the Emergency Clinic and was being treated for an upper respiratory infection. We did a phone follow up with her on October 11, 2010. Per the owner Baby was shaking and not eating.
Dr. Grosser rechecked Baby on October 12, 2010 and diagnosed her with white dog shaker syndrome and sent her home on oral Prednisone and A/D diet. On phone follow up they were still having difficulty getting Baby to eat and she seemed out of it.
A recheck was done on October 16, 2010 and at that time the owner stated Baby was vomiting food and meds. We stopped Prednisone and started Baby on oral Valium and sent bloodwork into the lab. Bloodwork was unremarkable. Two days later we referred Baby to Veterinary Specialty Center at owner's request.
Baby was diagnosed with white dog shaker syndrome at the Specialty Center. The owner declined furthur diagnostics given the likelihood of the diagnosis. Baby was sent hom on oral Prednisone and Valium, limited exercise and normal diet.
Baby continues to take Prednisone and is doing quite well per the owner.
