Timmy update Friday August 15th.

Timmy came to us when he was 11 months old, he was the size of a 4 month old.
Timmy has neurologic issues which we are still trying to diagnose.
We have done extensive bloodwork including bile acid challenge, xrays, and now planning a CT scan.
Timmy does not walk normally, his body moves sideways when his head is trying to go forward.
Sometimes he has issues standing. If we try to lay him on his left side he flounders, we have to put him in his bed on his right side.
He is still very thin, we feed him small kibble mixed with canned so he can swallow it easily otherwise he chokes, we also offer mashed Fresh Pet and try to feed him multiple times throughout the day to try to get some weight on him.

Timmy update 5/5/2025 Timmy is doing well, he is up to 6.2 pounds! He is a bit stronger. We will get him neutered once he is to a safe weight.

Timmy is a sweet boy. Unfortunately he has some neurologic issues we are trying to figure out. He is in for a bile acid challenge today to see if perhaps a liver shunt.
Timmy needs some special angels to sponsor him while Dr Paul figures out what his issues are.
Please keep Timmy in your prayers
