Of course the specialist told you the course of action is correct, but that is going off the assumption that the diagnosis is correct .... which it may not be. After all, it was diagnosed by guessing and by a vet that has never seen a case of SLE before.
If this were my pup, I would want to know for sure and have a hand's-on exam and diagnosis by the specialist. If they confirm lupus, then you know you are doing what is right. But what if they find it is something else that requires a different course of action? That possibility definitely exists and I would want to know for the sake of my dog and for my own peace of mind. I don't understand your reluctance to have an exam by a specialist.

I don't either.
Dawn, I have offered to take Brandi and care for her and you turned me down. Fine...then do it yourself...or I am going to make a suggestion that might horrify some people: take her and humanely put her out of her misery. I see you selling puppies and selling your dog clothing but don't see you giving it back to Brandi in vetting. You might say it is not my place to judge, but I am because sadly you keep putting it out there to torture all of us who do care. I cannot fathom leaving a pup to suffer like this with one excuse after another. This is one of the most depressing threads I have ever seen on YT. It just keeps going on and on and on. It has been THREE months and poor Brandi has no voice and no say in her care.
