Hi Clara, Hector is a gorgeous boy. I just want to add my encouragement to contact Dr Dodds too, especially with this complicated combination. She’s a wonderful lady and I’m always impressed by everybody’s comments, not only about her knowledge, but her compassion.
I’m not sure if it’s appropriate, but has thyroxine been mentioned? That has often kick started the better production of red blood, but again, I know nothing about the tick disease.
Clara, truly everyone here is fabulous and we all hold each others’ hands though thick and thin. We all just love our mutts (and cats).

Patrice, the symptoms don’t happen close to the prednisone timing (he gets his pred in the mornings). It’s in the hour after his evening thyroxine dosing before his dinner. I think it’s in the stress of waiting for his dinner. The symptoms have been happening in the last 10 minutes before he gets his evening meal.
On the morning he went in for testing, he got no prednisone as his vet wanted to push the effect of the glucose testing to see if the pred was affecting that.
I agree, I’m thinking that’s what this is. The fact that the symptoms went away last time his pred was upped by just that tiny bit, and the symptoms returned again, when I tried to reduce the pred back down again by that tiny bit.
Having increased his pred last Friday morning back up to his earlier dose, I’m hoping that increase is what’s keeping it in control now – well the last 3 evenings anyway.
Hi my friends,
Since getting out of jail (I mean hospital) on Thursday night, I noticed the tremor thing again (didn’t fall) on Friday night (again before his dinner), but nothing since then, although I am throwing his food at him as soon as he starts to get itchy for it. It means he’s not waiting a full hour after his thyroxine, it’s usually closer to 50 minutes – I can’t stand the wait any longer and I’m so stressed just watching him to see if anything happens, and he couldn’t care less how stressed I am.
I can’t believe how this is getting to me. I’ve seen videos on Youtube that show dogs having tremors etc, and Bingo’s are nothing compared to that, but I guess what’s behind it all is the fear that something else is going on. I dare say, as each day goes by, IF nothing happens, I’ll start to relax a bit. If it comes back, then I’ll just have to deal with it too. His vet rang this morning to see how he was, so he’s crossing his fingers too that Bingo behaves.
Love Vally &
