Hello everyone my name is Julia Burd. I have a 16mo golden doodle psychiatric service young dog. He’s been my PSD because I have had multiple pregnancy losses & cannot have children. We got him to help me get through my grieving process. He has been my anchor, best friend & he was my “rainbow puppy” instead of baby. Pringle is my child just like my other two pitbulls. They are all I have for “kids”, they made me a “mom”. Now My heart is broken, my life is lost without him & I don’t normally ask for help but it’s time. I’d do everything & anything I can for sons. That being said, it’s been a absolute spiraling down roller coaster for myself, my husband & Theburdboys. I’m sorry this will be long, but i need a miracle. I got some news / updates today on my 16mo old furson Pringle that just makes me feel absolutely helpless and lost & confused. I am doing the best I can and I’m doing all I can to fight for him and his health to come back home. This has been a horrible emotional spiral down roll coaster ride. With that being said, they still don’t know what exactly caused this and they are still trying to do hypothesis based diagnostic testing/ more Blood tests / work ups to send to lab. (they told me the results will take a week)which is killing me for waiting. My primary vet completely disregarded & was unhelpful to his symptoms severity. First of all I’d rather over react then under react. Play safe then sorry. It’s very mind baffling to me how he was happy “healthy” puppy to him being overnight sick and his health deteriorating by the day. Thank god I listened to my gut & very persistent. If I had listened to my vet I don’t think pringle would had a chance. I know My boy and I knew Thursday when I saw him something wasn’t right. I’ve ran all possible scenarios in my mind to trying to make sense of this and we still don’t know. I’ve been doing myself blame game & what ifs etc. but I know I do the very best for all 3 of my fur sons. Pringle health was declining every day since Thursday morning his eyes were bad and he was extremely lethargic. I brought him to primary vet 2x that day bc I was worried about his condition. Then Thursday into Friday he got worse and i brought him back Friday morning back to primary for more answers. He told me to wait it out and let the medication work until Monday & to not be dramatic. He said a bunch of possible things like allergies and minor seizures. So then Saturday he was worse, I brought him to uppen er where they thought it was just his eyes as primary problem & he was good to be discharged. We took him home and Sunday morning he took turn for the worst. So we rushed him back to UPenn where he finally got admitted. They are doing tests to try to rule things out. This is what they’ve said so far; unfortunately Pringle isn’t showing signs of improvement & new findings have come up. They most likely will transfer him to ICU for 24/7 monitoring. Also they want Dr specialist to do further evaluation on him. They thought originally it was just the eyes as primary concern. They were treating it primary however now they feel the eyes are a secondary problem to the main underlying issue that they’re not sure what it is. The multiple doctors yesterday thought it could be a tick disease/ illness and with doxycycline intravenously he’d improve. But he since he’s not showing any slight improvement, they’re starting to think it’s something else (neurological or cardiac related) Pringle has severe anterior uveitis & conjunctivitis in both eyes with a ulcer in left eye. He’s on multiple eye medications as well as oral. He’s not eating or drinking, extremely lathargic and on iv fluids. He’s also getting his other medicine through iv. The next step will be temporary feeding tube. Pringle had fever since Sunday & as of today it’s gone down slightly. They newly discovered today he has a heart murmur that wasn’t there before. A cardiologist is going to be involved for Pringle… since This is a concern since he didn’t have one that maybe he has a underlying disease or also a infection attacking heart. they also want to get a neurologist to do further testing on him since there could be possible complications affecting his Brain. They did X-ray of body and chest/lung which are relatively clear / normal. The blood work they’ve done tested so far is relatively normal. They did a abdominal ultrasound which also came back relatively normal. Vitals were stable however now today some change. Pringle will be admitted until further notice & it’s unknown his discharge date. This is the knowledge we have. I am so lost and confused and helpless & heartbroken. All I can say is just please #prayforpringle and I just hope I can have the strength to get through this and have him home. I will continue To try to update when I get more concrete information. Pringle is my psd service dog who’s been helping me through my grieving process of pregnancy losses & not being able have kids. Pringle is my child just the as Boris and Elvis. I will fight for him and do whatever possible. They are my family. They are All I have. I’ve been emotionally physically and mentally exhausted /sick. I just need support and prayers and positive vibes. Thank you♥️ theburdboysJust visited him this evening and this is up date.Thank you everyone for your support. Im honestly really in a dark place right now. I’m extremely defeated and devastated. Doctors really don’t know what’s going on, they said to us that is one of the most challenging cases they seen / dealt with. They’re doing more tests and trying to rule things out. I’ve tried so many brainstorming ideas and it’s becoming overwhelming. everything and anything that was suggested I have brought to them and they do not think any of those possibilities bc he’s not showing signs of alot of those other more common illnesses. Doctor said his symptoms are not checking all the boxes and it’s not black and white. As they said this is a very rare case and they’re doing their best to try to crack the case. Please just continue to pray and check their Instagram page TheBurdboys for lore updates. Thank you
