my response was, "Specialist" but I'm going to give her your advice with her owner to seek an Internist. A high dose of steroids for a tiny little Pom worries me, I know what happened with Tink when her steroids were increased, and it was not good. My mom is convinced she has an underlying issue that the past owners knew about, and that is why she ended up at the shelter. BUT, at least she now has an owner who loves her and is making sure she is treated. Thank you for your suggestions! |
Just thinking outside the box here....but if steroids happen to be helping her somehow...I have to wonder, could she have Addisons? Bc an Addisons event can look like hypoglycemia...they can totally collapse.
