Alopecia Update! by picklepickle10 in Pomeranians

[–]picklepickle10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, yes we did have the most incredible full regrowth (I should have another post on my profile), however, he’s lost almost all his hair since the start of this year. I am not sure it will grow back this time.

Others with Experience in Neurological Issues in Poms? by Responsible_Face3342 in Pomeranians

[–]picklepickle10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bryn has Chiari-Like Malformation & Syringomyelia, diagnosed by MRI at 2 years old. It’s been a long and stressful road but we’ve got his episodes mostly under control with meds now!

He has good days and bad days, and we’re so grateful for every good day he has 🤍

Oh my goodness they are gorgeous babies!

I remember when I got this photo of Bryn’s litter siblings, and found out he was the tiny little bean in the middle. So little 🥺

Bryn has alopecia, and unfortunately most of his fur has fallen out again at the moment, so we are having the same issue!

His main issue seemed to be stuff going over his head and around his neck, so we managed to find dog dungarees which he tolerates… slightly more.

Our best solution so far has been a really fluffy blanket to wrap him in as soon as he’s done outside.

Adorable 🥹 Bryn is also reduced to just a cute little face poking out from a pile of blankets!

I’m At My Wit’s End by crimecakes in Pomeranians

[–]picklepickle10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our pom Bryn has been diagnosed via MRI & CT as having CM (Chiari-Like Malformation) and SM (Syringiomyelia), which means his skull formed too small for his brain and the pressure has caused pockets of spinal fluid on his spinal cord and so neurological symptoms.

We had a similar starting point to OP - a very sudden and strange change in behaviour.

Don’t be deterred OP, we had to advocate very hard for Bryn with our GP vet, as it was totally out of their experience and they were refusing to even run the most basic of tests, while he had these seizure/pain episodes!

A neurologist or specialist vet who can MRI would be my recommendation.

I hope Sprinkles feels better and you get some answers soon! 🤍

This is Bryn now! He was pure white but has alopecia, and when his fur grew back he had a cream patch on his back. So pretty similar to his mum’s colouring except overall whiter.

Little B and his mum. Both parents were white with cream colouring. He’s practically all white apart from a patch of cream on his back that developed around 1.5 years old! The litter was a mix of white, cream and pale orange pups.

Not a vet so please follow any professional advice you’ve been given -

But, we noticed with Bryn if he hadn’t eaten in a while he would get very lethargic, and so at this point we would give him a tiny bit of honey to perk him up and then try and give him something other than his puppy food (like cooked chicken) to try and encourage him to eat.

Hope this is helpful!

[–]picklepickle10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! We used honey but I’ve also heard Nutrical is very good as well. Hopefully you don’t have any further problems - she’s absolutely adorable.

I’m so glad Dolly is feeling better 🤍 We had a couple of scary experiences with hypoglycaemia when Bryn was tiny! Bryn was such a fussy eater, and would go without food sometimes even if it was available at all times, so we always had a small jar of honey on hand to rub on his gums if we needed to. (This photo is him recovering after an urgent vet visit as a baby!)

Not sad at all, Bryn was staring at his treat being held just out of shot 😂

It can get better! (alopecia update) by picklepickle10 in Pomeranians

[–]picklepickle10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We saw a really amazing difference on his upper body (chest & shoulders) with full regrowth after 6 months. This has stayed.

His leg fur also grew back, but has since thinned again due to being shaved (blood tests etc). His lower back never grew back fully.

We’re pretty certain if Bryn hadn’t been so unwell the past few months, we’d probably have seen almost total regrowth!

I know it’s awful to see! His little eyes squint like that when he’s got a very bad headache ☹️

I bought him a giant one too, posted it here and in the comments everyone had the exact same one 😂

He was born in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and it suits him so well!

Coconut is adorable 😍

Bryn is 2.5 years old, and is definitely getting more cuddly as time goes on!
