Day 7 and good news, I think! No accidents last night and when I got home from work today, he had not finished his bowl of water like he usually does and there were no wet spots on the kitchen floor.

Took him for a walk and I noticed some mis-steps due to some hind leg weakness, but he is still very alert and bright-eyed, which is good.

Also, he ate his dinner and did not immediately go slurping down half a bowl of water.

I am hoping his cortisol levels are coming down to normal.

He really does look like a different dog, I can see it in the way he looks at me. Like I said, bright-eyed, not dull.

I will be so happy to see him back to normal and no longer suffering from this awful disease.

I may have spoken too soon, he had 3 accidents in the house last night, one right in front of me!!! I was apalled he would hike his leg in front of me.

Then, this morning, he slipped coming down the stairs and slid the whole way down. He landed at the bottom with a THUD and I could tell it scared him more than anything. I hugged and kissed on him for awhile afterwards to make sure he was okay. Needless to say, he did not go back up the stairs after he went outside even though he usually does come up there while I am getting ready for work.

well now, ups and downs, a good day, a bad day, you are still early into this treatment.

Trying to keep your spirits up!!!!! Our pups love to contradict us
