A couple questions about SM:
- Karlin wrote (not sure when as I copied and saved in a file folder) that "Clare Rusbridge and Geoff Skerritt have seen dogs' syrinxes improve (e.g. shrink and even disappear) on a CSF inhibitor like omeprazole, cimetidine or frusemide so I think this may be good practice for any affected dog to be on it from the start." Is this anecdotal or is included in a published report and/or part of an actual clinical trial. My Vets were interested. They said they would look but if any of you have the source an could pass it along to me that would be helpful.
- There are references to Prilosec only being taken for a short course in some of the literature due to concern over side effects. Do you know whether there is any new information on any adverse effects from long-term use of Prilosec?
- Do you know if proprioceptive deficits in the extremities are considered to be signs of disease that is fairly advanced even in the absence of other symptoms?
