i just talked to the vet and the test results came back with the bile levels elevated. he is able to rotate her neck totally with no pain so the episodes she has with the pain are not neck related and they dont seem to have a center but sporatic. he has started treatment with a low protein diet and the meds that start with a L. he started that treatment yesterday and she should show signs of improvement within 48-72 hours. if not then he will start the steriods. i am going to see her in a few minutes and take a toy that i slept with so hopefully that will comfort her and let her know that mommie has not forgotten her.
