Piccolo had a ton of symptoms including being lathargic for months and sores around her mouth, caused by a secondary infection to the Vasculitis. Other symptoms included a runny nose, problems breathing, and later scabs in her ears, sores on her paws, and plenty of other things, too.

Prednisone - Piccolo was on high levels for nine months, under very specific care from a Vet Dermatologist.

It sounds like you are getting some great suggestions about going to specialists. I hope you can do this - I did not even know about specialists at the time of Piccolo's first symptoms. Wish I had taken her sooner to a specialist and not spent months at the regular vet, since they could not figure out her problems.

Again sending positive thoughts your way for a speedy diagnosis and treatment plan.
