Its been a while since we've checked in and I know there are many of you who would like to know how things have been.

Update: Brandi is doing better than she was, there is no infection is gone, no swelling or redness in her mouth, no green mucus in her eyes. Her apatite is back. Drinking tons of water !

She has been diagnosed with AID and recently has shown sign of the disease. She has been on the steroids for over 5 weeks now. Slowly prescribed reducing the dose to see what dose is the best for her to keep the AID under control. She had gone from 15mlg / 10mlg than now to only 10mlg every other day. She still has 12 days to go before she will be done with this round of steroids and I have been looking for any chance in her illness and it does not look good. I notices after a week into the dose being lowered from 15mlg to 10mlg she now has a dry nose with crusty spot on the rim of he nostril. I have also been checking her paw/pads regularly and there is no sign of any crusty dry spots. The only good thing about the lower dose is she isn't peeing all over my house like she did when she was on the higher dose.

So, I called my vets office today to see where we go from here and they put her back on the 15mlg per day for two weeks. I will be keeping a very close eye on her in the mean time.
