So it been a few weeks. Mia went down to 1/4 a pill of pred twice a day with the 2 stomach protectors and she's also on an antibiotic. Her regular vet wants her to stay on an antibiotic until she is off the pred. Mia went a week or so with the 1/4 pred twice a day and about 3 days ago we took it down to 1/4 once a day still on the antibiotic and the 2 stomach protectors. So far so good. I think she just needed to be on the antibiotic while she comes off the pred to kinda regulate it.
The only weird side effect is she's losing hair on her legs around what would be her ankles. I'm thinking it's a side effect of all the meds she's on so I hope once she's off all of them the hair will grow back. She looks really weird with patches of hair missing from her legs.
She's getting back to normal hyper-neurotic-obsessive self. She plays now, and often. There for a while she just wanted to sleep and lay around. Her muscle is coming back little by little. From no activity she had gone from super muscular to flabby. Now she has some fat she needs to work off. The pred makes her want to eat all the time and from all the off days around Christmas and new years my mom had been feeding all the dogs a little too many treats. over all I'm positive by next week we will have her down to 1/4 pred every other day. I'm excited. Things are looking good.
