Glycogin storage disease

[Matt]

Hi everyone, I've just had my Murph at the Vets over the last last three days with a high temperature, poor appetite, lethargy. Prescribed a course of intravenous antibiotic followed by an oral regime. Overall he's condition has been up and down but now presenting quite happy. A blood test indicated a low white cell count and subsequent urine test showed some traces of blood. The vet indicates Murph may have Glycogin storage disease but only a hypothesis. A follow up check tomorrow for temperature with a possible 24hr observation and IV fluids. Anyone experianced this? My research tells me the outcome is dire :(

So happy the diagnosis is better than thought and that he is doing better!

Remember the saying "When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses not zebras"?  I'm glad it was a 'horse' disease, and not a 'zebra' disease, but kudos to your vet for being thorough and sharing his/her thoughts about diagnosis with you.  I'm sorry you had to go through the anxiety of possibly having a very serious disease, but so glad it was diagnosed as something a lot more treatable.  What a relief!

I am so glad that Murph's diagnosis is simply a curable infection.  Hooray!
