Ribbon had surgery in June, all symptoms returned in this past month. I have started her on 1 mg. given at approx. 2pm. Today marks the third week and I have yet to see any reduction in fur loss, with no visible regrowth. I know that it may take some time and was wondering just how long? She can't begin Lupron until the outstanding bill has been reduced somewhat; 3 of my other 4 have all had doctor visits with a flu virus and in the process of treating everyone - I ended up with pneumonia. Since I have been home this past week, Ribbon has been getting her Melatonin early in the day - about 8 hours after sunrise. What would be the latest optimal time for her to receive it when I return to work? Thanks for any info on this subject, I'm a faithful reader, just not much of a poster - I spend alot of time with my (only) kids! [Posted in FML issue 3737]
