Roxy and I are celebrating the last day of her steroids! I didn't think they affected her this round as much as the last round where she was so sick, because this time she seemed to have much more energy and she never got sick. But as I've weaned her off from a week of full tablets to a week of half-tablets to a week of quarter-tablets, I have noticed a huge difference!
Her full personality is back. She's that sweet, energetic basenji that I had right before we had to start the Heartworm treatments. She is not self-crating as much--except when she wants to escape all the hectic activity in the house. She is going outside in the backyard and laying in the sun. She is following me around everywhere I go. It is good to have the full Roxy back!
She has one last round of oral meds on April 24, then a week later the final bloodwork where I am expecting her to be pronounced fully healthy. Then we'll start those looooong walks again! I know she's ready; I am ready!
