Cry Our Beagle Abby

needs some prayers please.
On Dec. 20 she with diagnosed with Beagle Pain Syndrome, also called Steriod Responsive Menigitis.

Beagle Pain Syndrome | Understanding This Disease

Beagle pain syndrome painful and difficult to diagnose - Knoxville dog health | Examiner.com

The first week of steriod and pain medicine treatment (tramadol) she showed signs of improvment, however when we tried reducing her steriods down she relasped and relasped in a bad way.
The vet increased the steriod treatment to 3 a day now and changed her pain meds to a form of lyrica for dogs because the tramadol was taking longer to kick in and wearing off quicker than it should.
She is having "epsiodes" 2 sometimes 3 a day and they are awful to watch her go thru them.
If she doesnt not show improvement over the weekend, we and the vet have decided that it would be best to put her down.
She is only 8 years old and a huge part of our family. Its not a descison we want to make. Please keep her in your prayers that she can pull thru this.
Thank you all in advance.
