[Dawn Anderson]

Butters was on 20mg per day, 10am and 10pm

My personal opinion is that you could increase just a bit, to see if you can bring that number down a bit more... but, if you think symptoms are controlled, you may just ride this out another few weeks and then retest. I made that choice myself when we had similar results for Tobey.

So the new dose will be 15mg am and 15mg pm?

Just wanted to update, since I suggested riding it out for a bit.

We got the results for Tobey's last stim test just today, and the progress has not been quite enough. I am glad I waited though on the increase, so I could see how her numbers progressed over a longer time period, before increasing dose.

Butters also weighed in at 96lbs.

How are Buttercup's symptoms? Do they seem better controlled during the day and appear at night or vise versa?

I wanted to add that I think you are doing such a wonderful job with sweet Buttercup.

This is Tobey's current dose too.

Actually the only symptom she is displaying is the CC, which is slowly very slowly improving, ie starting to grow fur but much of it is still hard as a rock, pot belly is virtually gone now and as for her demeanor she is pretty much back to her old self, drinking and eating normal and strength in hind qrts also increasing.
