OK, so here comes the uglies - Pink. UGH. Stared the steroids last pm. Upped her to a skinny 2.0 this am (great minds think alike Roni). Tuscany has been lazy in the sun today.
Cheryl/Winnie asked about the 'roids and why - In February it was cause she had new onset - head tilt , balance problems. Regular vet had started, neuro didn't think we needed to cont. She had 4 days at that time and her sugars had not settled down in those 4 days. This time 'roids are for the "wrist" ALIEN. A swelling/growth that the vet thinks is probably synovial cyst or bursitis . We were hoping the steroids would help with some the of inflammation/swelling. The vet had suggested low dose of meloxican but I was too hesitant for that - Tuscany's renal values run borderline to slightly high. Figured I could treat the DM better than the reanal failure.....
I don't anticipate waiting the 6 cycles at this increased dose. I'll give it a day or two to build a little shed but if I'm not seeing numbers dropping I'm going up....
Worked outside today since 9 am - now going for a bike ride. At least I convince DH to do a tandem ride so I can slack a little. :lol:
