Minnie latest

:)
She has confounded us all again. Just from late morning, her gums are pinker, as is her tongue, and even her ears have a glimmer of pink. She's been slightly more alert and moving around.
The vet was surprised I think but very happy :)

Now we have this balancing act. She's to have the same 25mg of the steroid until Saturday when we're to give her half a tablet a day. On Monday we go back for more blood tests (no point today as she's obviously responding to the steroids) and then cut down to half a tablet every other day if she's ok.
This is the problem - she can't stay on this dose, so we have to hope she improves quite a bit more by Saturday. I also need to now give her more meat protein (back to the chicken liver etc) once she's had today's fish...
Rollercoaster is the right word.

That sounds really promising Di. I bet you are exhausted from the sheer emotion of it all.

Fingers crossed that she continues to go from strength to strength.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!

Yes exhausted is about it.
A way to go before she's on the mend I think, but at least she's still here to try and be mended :)

A toughie fighter is just what the vet called her :)
As well as an absolute sweetheart :)
I didn't tell her how many others were in her corner ;)

She has been out barking :D

For the first time in a week I'm going to bed pretty sure she'll still be here in the morning.
Onwards and upwards, hopefully.
