Hello from Florida

Hi everyone. My name is Benjamin Holmes and just joined your forum with my OES, Farley. His birthday is December 8th 1999 and I got him from a family in Aguas Escondidos, Mexico. This is a small town outside of Guadalajara where my wife, Ingrid, and I lived for 4 years. Farley is a very happy and hyper OES in spite of a couple of health problems. He was diagnosed in 2001 with distal axonopathy. The vets gave him 6 months to live but he is still with us today. The condition does cause muscle wasting, but he still gets around just fine. He also recently developed a blister on his lungs that burst and required emergency surgery, but he is recovering well. (If anyone has any similar experiences please let me know.) As I am writing this he is nudging my arm with is nose so I better sign off for now and pet him.

Greeting from Canada!

Welcome to the forum and I know you're going to love it here. Friendly people and good conversation. Farley does sound like a real trooper and I do hope you get some advice regarding his medical concerns from members here.

This place is visited by people all over the world and it's nice that sometimes we compare notes our vets advise us regarding certain conditions. Perhaps if you post on the Medical forum you'll find the answers and can also educate some of us as to what this condition involves. You may be helping others too.

I'm Marianne, mom of several furballs, bunny, guinea pig, 3 dogs, 4 cats and ocassional fosters for the Humane Society. Welcome to the forum!
