11-29 update...got thyroid rezults back, all normal. Vet didn't give me actual numbers but said she isn't leaning toward hypothyroud or Cushing's. However after almost 9 days of clavamox, there's no improvement in Jenna's symptoms.
I asked the vet if we could still do a urine sample just to be doubly sure. She said okay, so now I need to suss out how to get a clean catch from Jenna.
Vet would also like to try a topical fatty oil supplement for her skin. Didn't give me a name though.
She suggested the prednisone again, but also gave me a dosage for benadryl to try first if I'd like. Jenna is 7 lbs, so 2.5 ml of children's benadryl syrup every 12 hours as needed. Seems like a lot to me, my house rabbits are about 4 lbs and they only get 0.6 ml twice a day.

So...kind of stuck. No bad news, but no good news either.
To add to this worry, my husband's cousin passed away Thursday night and the whole family here is gutted. It's been a rough couple of months.
