Yahooo- We Have Maintenance!

Kayos and Havoc · 09-01-2009, 09:46 PM

Max's cortisol blood levels are finally in the normal range so we can begin maintenance dosing of the Lysroden. We start on one pill a week fro 3 months and check again.

Vet says yes the hair loss is a side effect. Good thing we have a Dyson!

He is looking good and wants to play and has quit peeing in the house.

He had been hiding in corners, running away to avoid going out but that has stopped too. He has also come back to sleeping in the bedroom with us instead of hiding in a corner in the hall.

Tonight he stepped off the patio and fell hard and could not get up. The look on his face was one of a very upset and scared dog.

I ran over to him and got him up and he walked it off. He is okay. He actually wanted to play more but I decided we should rest a bit. We did play a bit more later.

My confidence in him to survive the winter and still be here when I get home from Iraq has just gone up a lot. I feel better leaving now even tho I just do not want to go.

Kathy,

That's wonderful news. You are leaving pretty soon, aren't you. Maxie pulled himself together to assure you he'll wait (KW).
