[Dailydrool] Update on Chilliepepper

[Cathy Rice]

I saw that you said Chilliepepper has the big C so I am not sure that the symptoms you described as Dementia may be a side effect of that but I wanted to share something from our experience. My Nate who just made his way to the bridge this past October began to show symptoms of what the doctor originally thought may be a brain tumor and then diagnosed as Dementia was later descovered to have high blood pressure. We treated him with meds for high blood pressure and we did see improvement in his "dementia" symptoms. Just wanted to pass that along in case by some rare chance HBP may be contributing to Chilliepepper's symptoms. I had never heard of any dog having high blood pressure until Nate's neurologist suggested he be tested.
 We will be sending Chilliepepper our best wished and prayers and the Rice hounds are sending their drool as they have tons to spare.
