March, 2009 - January, 2010
Brando continues to do well and
is blasto-free.
February 8, 2009:
Brando's antigen test results 0.16
(Negative) HURRAY!
All the prayers were answered.
Thank you to everyone who thought of us during this time.
We'll continue on our journey to
raise awareness of blastomycosis, and with God all things are
possible!
I took Brando to the Wisconsin
Veterinary Referral Center (WIVRC) Monday night for the
Antigen-Urine Test that was sent to MiraVista Diagnostics.
The test results should be back by Friday. We're praying
for the numbers to come in low which would mean a negative.
Thank you Dr. Varani for being
our angel. The entire staff at WIVRC has always
been great. I always know that Brando's getting the best
top-notch quality care. They saved his life in
2007. www.wivrc.com.
I'll update when I get the results
but for now Brando is doing good. He is his usual
self, and I just thank God for another day with him.
I am truly blessed!

Brando was taken to the emergency
vet Monday night. He has a sore on this leg and it tested
very HIGH in bacteria. He's on medication Cephalexin 3x
day for 10 days.
The toxologist reported that
because of the HIGH levels of bacteria in the wound that he
isn't ruling out blasto.
Brando seemed to be doing well but this a.m. he is limping and just not himself.
Tomorrow at the Pet Expo the emergency vets will be there with their
booth and I'll talk to them.
I'm putting a note in all the bags I
hand out from our Canine Blastomycosis Awareness booth about Brando and asking for
prayers. I did
say in the note to check the website for an update on Brando as
I plan on bringing him with me to the Pet Expo. He's a big star as are the
other survivors but we continue to pray for those that didn't
survive.
