We just got home from Lily's 3 week check-up. All her blood levels look great (yay!). So, they took her down from 5mg of prednisone a day to 3.5mg. That's a big jump from the original dose of 10mg a day back in July. She also got another B-12 shot today, they seem to be helping her and giving her more energy. As long as they keep helping her we will keep getting them once a month. Due to the lack of fat in her diet her skin is starting to get really dry and irritating her. We had her Vet order her this medication called Essential 6 Spot-on. It's a topical ointment (it goes on just like Frontline) that contains loads of vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids. This is safe for her because she's not actually ingesting the fats. It's also suppose to help the hair as well, and she needs it. Before she got sick she had beautiful hair, and now it's really thin and she stays cold quite a bit because of it. I have absolutely nothing to complain about this week. Lily has been such a trooper. And, I'm so overly excited that I get to spend at least one more Christmas with her. Back in July I was wondering if she would make to December. Here she is as spunky as ever! :) She's already been trying to sneak in her stocking...
Merry Christmas all!
Love,
Lily's Mom & Little Lil
