Thanks Samantha and everyone! Jackie is still doing very good this week. Her stool is firming up nicely but is still a little bloody but much improved. I think she is gaining more weight too and doesn’t seem be having as many issues going up and down the stairs! She has also been playing with her ball more in the house, which is her favorite thing in the whole world so I know she is feeling better!
Playing is great!!! I sure hope she is on the upswing. One day at a time. That was our motto for months…:) Hugs to Jackie!!
Oh Anna, I’m so happy to hear how well Jackie is doing, it’s such a relief when they start to play again! Doing the happy dance here for you both.

We had Jackie’s PCV checked today and she is at 33!! Her energy is getting better and better so the DR wants to reduce prednisone again so she will be taking 10 mg in the morning and 5 at night. Her stool is totally solid with just a tiny bit of blood, I bet in a couple of days it will be totally gone! She still has a sore on her leg that is trying to heal, I have to keep a sock on her leg or else she will eat the bandage and rip her fur out trying to get it off. For some reason she keeps the sock on. Other side effects now are that she is losing a bit of fur and her eyes are not producing enough tears so we have to put artificial tear ointment in her eyes. Hopefully the reduction in pred will start helping these side effects. She also lost a pound since last week but still eating well so hopefully she will start gaining weight. We are happy with the improvement in her blood though!
