EPM diagnosis confirmed

The vet came out on Friday. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be there because I had a physical scheduled at the time. (Ever look at the wait time for a physical? Six months. Sheesh.) Any way, my vet called me today at work with information on Isis. She said Isis does look like an EPM relapse case because of the uneven muscle atrophy (worse on one side than the other) and Isis is having some trouble moving to the right (especially turning).

Blood will be sent off on Monday for a test. Looks like we’ll be trying the study meds, Oroquin-10. I’ll write up the information on the study in another post.
