A couple of days ago he was outside with me on a leash and he saw a squirrel and tried to go after it that is his normal self he just loves to try to chase the squirrels.
when he goes to the bathroom now he can squat almost the whole time peeing and the last couple of seconds he falls. he has been walking alot more getting out of his bed and wanting to be up on the couch with me he even puts his paws up the couch he even walked about five house's up from my house and was headed the way we normally go for a walk. The other night I asked him to sit before his food and he did he has not sat in a while because of his balance, he still falls but it seems like he can catch himself before he falls which I think is a good sign. He even is sleeping well in the night before when he was really bad he would wake up in the middle of the night and start panting and shaking and he would do it at least two times in the night. He has stopped the panting and shaking he seems very relaxed when he is sleeping looks so peaceful. He is sleeping a a circle before he would have to have to be in a bed with his head elevated or else he would roll or fall. He is responding if I ask him if he is hungry he is eating more I guess because of the steroids he is getting a little pot belly.


THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS
Here it says that Polo is on double the dose now of Pred, so I'm thinking the Neuro must have raised his dose as the OP cannot do that without a vet or she would run out of Pred .
