Daily checks and a scare

Last night Janine managed to snag a Zonisamide capsule. Zonisamide is for Merlin's seizures and is a sulfa drug, and could potentially cause her to have problems. So I tried to get her to vomit (Hydrogen peroxide) with no luck. So today I come home from work to check and her gums looked white and I freaked. But ten minutes later they are fairly pink so I think we can wait until the vet appointment on Thursday afternoon. If she shows any signs of being ill before then I'll call the vet and ask about upping her Pred again or drop her off there tomorrow morning.

She's been good but as she is now on only 5 mg a day of Pred I'm nervous that she'll relapse, and we never had had her RBC up to normal. Plus she has been a bit bitchy lately which can be a sign that she's not feeling well. Or it can mean she is a normal corgi female. Hard to tell sometimes!

Bunnies and Prednisone

Janine got her wish and chased bunnies up in Washington over Christmas vacation. She had fun in the snow and on the beach and especially chasing the rabbits on the dike, lawn, and beach.

On January 6 or so I cut her Prednisone down to 5 mg and around the end of the month will take her back to the vet to be rechecked. Decreasing Pred has not bothered her, but I don't know when we will be able to decrease the azathioprine.
