Tara, I would have thought the antibiotics would have had to be finished before doing the test, but someone probably knows more about this than me – what do you mean probably Vally :)

Love Vally & Bingo

Lynn, how wonderful to “see” you again.  I hope you’re feeling a lot better.

Love Vally & Bingo

Well of course it was the booties!

Ollie, I’m so very happy.  Now don’t break anything, right.

Love Vally & 48

Yes Joe, I reckon they’ll be ready to drag me off soon.    I am an anxious sort and Bingo sure contributes to that. I really appreciate your prayers.

Thanks Tamara.

We visited the vet today and Bingo did a full blood test again as well as a thyroid test.  Everything has come back in the normal range, including thyroid and the ALT. The first time the ALT has ever come back normal. His PCV was a record high of 48.

His vet said that any neurological disorders require more invasive testing and feels that at this point, the symptoms that I’ve seen are too subtle for us to go that way.  We’ll just keep watching.

He also urged me to drop the other 1/8th of the 5mg tablet (currently 1/4, 1/8, 1/4, skip), going down to 1/4 tablet every 2 days.  Even though it’s a small dose, the less he’s on the better.  So okay, from Thursday we’ll start  every second day dosing at 1.25mg. Oh scary days.

I asked about the adrenal glands and when do they start kicking in whilst on prednisone.  He said there’s no simple answer to that.  Whilst he’s sure that Bingo’s current low dose means the glands are likely doing most of the work, it’s really only by going to every other day dosing that we know.

Love Vally & Bingo.

Tamara, let us know what Dr Dodds says.

You are NOT to get an eye infection.

Love Vally & Bingo.

Tamara, starting a new thread for you.  If the threads get too long they cause problems especially for the ones using their smart phones.
