Re: HELP 13 yr old dog walking in circles, pacing, shaking and can't chew
I am SO glad her vet told you to stop the meds and put her on Pred for a few days. The fact that she seems better already is great and I pray she remains so once the Pred course is finished. I second what Marianne said - just keep in mind that her natural stress may cause her cortisol to test a bit higher. It is a GOOD sign that her vet recognizes this fact! Elevated cortisol is much better than those levels going too low so that fact that her vet understands the role her extreme stress can play should help in her ongoing treatment.
You are an angel for giving her a home and loving her so much. She lucked out when she met you!
Stay in touch and let us know how your sweet girl is doing.
Hugs,
Leslie
