Hope that's little Rosie well on the road to recovery now .

My whippet Hula had massive amounts of steroids for an auto immune condition when she was 2 .

She recovered well was weaned off them and was completely healthy till she died aged 15 so fingers crossed Rosie will be the same .xxx

CASANOVA HAD THE SAME LUMP AFTER HIS BOOSTER a bit of a pattern is forming here

 

[twinkletoes dylan]

I'd go for it and use the steroids..you'll know very soon if they are working in the right way...loads of love xxx

She had her first tablet a couple of hours ago, and ..............

Within an hour she moved unasked and unaided from the bed in the dining room to the sofa and Shane's lap!

She has just got up and asked to go out, run across the paddock, had a long wee and a poo (vet's recovery diet, yuk :x ) and is now hanging around looking for food (steroid side effect )

On the whole, much, much brighter and from that result, fingers crossed, I would say she is now responding to treatment :thumbsup:

Keep sending the positive thoughts, guys!! I think it's working xx

omg poor rosie, sending shedfuls of positive thoughts your way, hope shes now on road to recovery

 

[Cornish]

Oh bless her heart, I hope she is feeling better soon xxx

Poor wee lass

I hope that the steroids work and that Rosie picks up quickly.

Foxy was on 5mg daily for 3 weeks, then 2.5mg daily for another month. We now have her on 1mg daily and this seems to maintain her condition (spinal inflamation) really well.

She did get excessively hungry on the high dose and I switched her to a Lite diet so that she could have 2 - 3 medium meals a day. This at least keeps her a bit happier.

Fingers crossed that Rosie responds well to the treatment :luck: :luck: :wub: :wub:

 

[Trish]

Glad to hear rosie is feeling better on her meds and hope she continues to improve jane.

[~Annie~]

Hope Rosie is well on the way back to her usual bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning. The boys send healing licks and have risked including a few gentle bounces. :huggles: from me

Rosie seems to be feeling comfortable this morning :thumbsup: She got up this morning and has been out in the garden with the others and is now back in bed :thumbsup:

She had a "funny turn" last evening when she was definitely in pain again. Her respiration rate rose dramatically and she was unable to move easily. This lasted for about 5-10 minutes and then she settled and went to sleep.

She is eating, drinking, weeing and pooing normally and got up unaided and came downstairs without any obvious discomfort. I am hopeful that she will get through this without any lasting effects but it is early days yet and, having read up on lots and lots of research, she could relapse or possibly not respond to treatment at any time.

At the moment I am quietly hoping that she will continue to improve and all will be well ........... thank you for asking, guys - I'll keep you all posted of any developments and, of course, regular updates on how Rosie is feeling :thumbsup:

 

[meddling]

Thanks for the update Janey xxx

I do hope her set backs get fewer and farther between

Hugs to the little babe xxx

 

[FeeFee]

I'm really pleased to hear she's comfortable today, I hope she continues to do well and will get through this and be back to her old self very soon :luck: :huggles:

 

[Suerose]
