Just wanted to update everyone again on Bogart. We've started weaning him off the steroids. I was very nervous because that was when he relapsed before. But he's been at a lower dosage for 2 1/2 days now and is doing great! :cheer2: :cheer2: He's still somewhat weak in his back legs and a little wobbly, but he seems to be getting stronger. He's at almost two weeks since his relapse. I plan to keep him on the strict crate rest he's on now for 4 more weeks and then to let him have a little less restriction. Right now, he's in the crate almost all the time. Only gets out to be carried out to potty and to sit on the couch occasionally. After the six weeks, I thought I'd let him walk out to potty ON THE LEASH (the little bugger tried to run one day!
) and see how he does. I'm feeling much more optomistic about him now.
Thanks for being such great friends and listening to my obsessing about his back and how he walks. Only real friends would do that.
