I'm glad to hear she's doing better. I hope the "forever" for the weekly 1/2
pills is a long, long time.

Now that she is much better and has gained back some weight I feel I can share
this mini vid I took before I took her to get an Ultra Sound two weeks ago. She
had to
do without any food after midnight the night before this was shot and she was
NOT pleased.. as she let me know here..
She had had a concerning pattern of weight loss recently , vet visit a couple of
months ago indicated some kind of IBD - she got steroids and B vitamin shot and
improved a bit then declined again.. so the Ultra Sound proved necessary.. she
came home with pills to take 1/2 of twice a day for two weeks then once a week
"forever"
It took some creativity to get the pill into her - the solution after some
experimenting turned out to be burying the tiny thing in a small wad of cheddar
cheese - actually, English Double Glouster . she gets that into her tummy
quickly and therefore is spared the bitter taste of the pill (mashing up the
pill in her food was NOT a good solution
"fool me once... ") the pills are Prednisolone . 5mg pills cut in half. I
didn't want to tell people anything aobut her trials until I was able to say she
is responding nicely
to the meds and is up to many of her old naughty tricks , is displaying good
bathroom behaviour and hasn't barfed at all in two weeks.
so here is the short vid I took early in the morning of Sept 22 before we went
to the vet.. video verite - took with my darkside little camera - no editing.
