[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - yes to the steroids. Plus an antibiotic, immune-suppressants, acid reflux. It's 5 pills in the morning and 10 at night. Don't blame the vet. His red blood cells were 50% of normal and dropping. She saved his life and stabilized him. He was sent home to recover in a comfortable environment. We see her every few days for bloodwork. These things are just hard to diagnose.[/quote] I am not blaming the vet for failing to come up with an immediate answer -- but did your vet communicate about the possible behavioral changes your dog might experience on these meds? And have you communicated with your vet about what's going on right now? That is critical information. Please call your vet immediately -- and make your husband deal with this issue by getting the dog out of your care and into the vet's care -- *your* environment is not comfortable if you are at demonstrated physical risk. What if it's your face the dog bites next time? Or your toddler's? You are dealing with a very real threat to your own and your child's safety and you *have* to prioritize your safety and your child's over your dog's comfort. Otherwise you are being an irresponsible parent. Parenting commitments trump pet commitments.[/quote]
