8/23/24 Luke Maxwell has been adopted. Luke's story is very unusual and we're recounting our efforts to help him.

Luke Maxwell has a problem with urinary and fecal incontinence. He constantly dribbles his urine and his fecal matter just drops out at any time as he has no control over any of this.

Doctor Leach with Refinery Road veterinary clinic has examined Luke and feels that this is a congenital birth defect. I did ask Dr. Leach if we should see a neurologist and or get an MRI. He thought seeing a neurologist and getting x-rays would be beneficial in possibly finding a different diagnosis but also felt if we got an MRI we would be told exactly what Dr. Leach has told us that this is a congenital Defect that he was born with.

We made an appointment with the neurologist at Med Vet in Dallas. They did extensive x-rays and the radiologist did not see anything out of the ordinary. They also agree with Dr. Leach that this most likely is a congenital birth defect. I also asked them about getting an MRI and they responded with about the same answer as Dr. Leach. That after getting an MRI we would be told the same answer, that Luke was born with this congenital defect.

Luke and I searched for a very special family that is willing to take care of him and this incontinence issue, love him, also possibly looking into seeing different doctors and or physical therapies or laser therapy. We did find his perfect family that has already started doing their own research on Luke's congenital defect that he was most likely born with. They are ready to do whatever it takes to search and hopefully find a way to help Luke no matter what it takes, who they need to see and where they need to take Luke to find answers and hopefully find any possible way to help him physically.
