I know the letter may not be out for the next few days, but I wanted to make sure my letter will be there when it's back up. I wrote in for help with my furkid Sammy. I was overwhelmed by the instant and informative replies I got back. I am trying to write each one personally, and will do so, but just wanted to give an update on his condition,since things are so hectic here right now. Sammy has gotten on prednisolone, and has made a complete turnaround. He is eating soup, and some dry on his own , and last night asked to be let of of his cage for playtime. He was roughhousing with the youngsters, (new adoptees) and has decided he is now going to be the alpha. He tired more quickly than he used to but this was the first time he's cared about being alpha since his first week w me 2 yrs ago. This was his first playtime in a couple of weeks that lasted for more than 5-10 min. Of course, Mommy is thrilled!!He will be going back to the Dr on tues to check glucose levels and see how we are progressing. Will consider other options then. Thank eyerone for your information, opinions, and support. Suzanne [Posted in FML 5788]
