Jake does not have lepto nor Addison's. He still will not eat. He threw up a bit. Pee was clear except for a blood clot at the end. The doctor offered us two choices. First, a cancer-hunt surgery where they biopsy all his organs. He's had two ultrasounds and no sign of any tumors, so, no to that one. Second, steroids to treat an autoimmune disorder. Take it. So, they are starting him on steroids today. She will be able to see if it's having any effect by tomorrow morning. We are going to visit him this afternoon.
We are not going to put him through much more. If this does not work, we are putting him down. He is not Jake anymore. He's a sick little boy. He's so tiny from not eating.
Jake had his vaccination in April for Bordatella.
Immune-mediated vasculitis is typically triggered by an adverse drug reaction (antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, vaccines, therapeutic injections of sera and extracts of allergens for atomic dermatitis therapy) or underlying internal diseases (neoplasia, infections distant from area of vasculitis).
