On the morning of Feb 3, 2011, Winston had 3 siezures.
Not knowing the cause, he was taken to
Michigan State
University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital emergency room. When he
arrived he was limp and appeared to be on the verge of
another siezure.
To our relief, he was quickly
stabilized by the doctors. Subsequent testing showed
that Winston had a brain tumor. Since he was in good
health otherwise, we decided to give him low dose radiation
treatment.
The treatment was given every
weekday for 19 days. Before he started treatment, he was
wobbling around the house and couldn't sleep well. His
vision was poor and he would tip over trying to eat.
His treatment was completed on March 10th and now he is
doing much better. He is able to jump again and
can sleep better. It's nice to be greeted by an
excited Winston again!
We would like to thank all the doctors, students and
staff who treated and took
care of Winston at Michigan State University over the
past month. Your knowledge and caring has given
Winston a better quality of life and more time for us to
enjoy together!
