After little Georgie's last relapse she stablilised quite quickly. I reduced her Pred to one a day again as I just can't bear to see her so down and uncomfortable. Things were going really well for 2 weeks and then I started noticing little signs of another relapse. From there things went backwards pretty quickly. She has now completely lost her vision again and is completely disorientated and falling over. Absolutely heartbreaking! I immediately put her on the higher Pred dose again and then last night decided to up it even further to Dr Sisson's 4 day dosage to kick start the process. I also put her back on Leflunomide (5mg once a day) with the hope that she won't have any GI issues from it. My poor little baby. Fortunately she is an absolute fighter and if anyone can get back on her feet it is my baby girl. This time I am certainly not going to make the mistake of lowering her Pred dosage so quickly. She is due for another round of Cytosar this weekend which I am pleased about.
I forgot to mention that inbetween these 2 relapses I had to rush Georgie off to the vet as there was a lot of blood in her stools...so much so that it was dripping out of her bum quite badly. The vet seemed to think it might have been the Leflunomide as it can be a side effect. So we stopped the Leflunomide. The level she was on didn't stop her from relapsing anyway. I made a call though to add it back when she had this last relapse. We need all the help we can get.
