Details admin Keymaster Oh Vally, you know I will be thinking about you tomorrow & crossing everything. I think Bingo’s liver enzymes look pretty OK, especially considering the length of time he has been taking these drugs as well. Worzel has his check up tomorrow too. Let’s hope everything is relatively normal for them both. I have had to up Worzel’s food as he was starting to lose weight. Strangely, his skin has gone black again. I have read that steroids continue their effects over a YEAR after taking them. He still gets new little hard spotty lumps (like stones) which must be calcinosis, I suppose. Patrice has given great advice – don’t you dare worry – if Bingo is feeling fine, he IS fine. Our vet scared me last time about Worzel’s creatinine being high, but them I remembered greyhounds have a naturally high level (up to 1.6 times more than “normal”), so the vets are not always “right”! Wishing you loads of luck Sheena, Worzel & Ollie Details admin Keymaster Hi Tara Just a quick note to say I hope the brave boy is doing OK – thinking of you both as always Love to you & Diablo Details admin Keymaster Hi Linda There’s no easy answer. I am not personally experienced with atopica either, but it obviously upsets her tummy so I can understand why you want to cut it out. I still think the pred is more of a problem with the weakness side of things though & hope you can continue cut it down (I know – slowly!) I can’t tell you how much the sudden difference in Worzel was when we got him onto a very small dose & eventually off the pred, but I know the relapse word is in the back of your mind too. I think Brigitte is right – ask Dr Dodds – I bet she wouldn’t mind at all. Love Sheena & the boys Details admin Keymaster Robert & family Very sad news – I am really upset to hear about poor Mattie & send you all my deepest sympathy. Please know you were doing everything you possibly could to help her. This disease is notoriously evil. Again, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know good memories of her will come back in time because you loved her so very much. Thinking of you all Sheena Details admin Keymaster Hi Linda, Hmmm… what does your vet say? I don’t see a problem contacting Dr. Dodds about this, especially since you have spoken to her before. She would probably be happy to hear Sadie is doing pretty good. I think it would be ok to stop the Atopica all together, but like I said before I am absolutely no expert on it. I know it is the holidays and you can not contact your vet unless it is an emergency but come Tuesday you could call her/him and get some input.
