April 6, 2012 - Still improving, but still on prednisone

Roxy's head tilt is definitely gone. She is still tired sometimes but for the most part is feeling much better. Some days she has more energy than others. She is playful and brings me her toys. The first couple of weeks she did not have interest in her toys at all.

I tried to drop her prednisone down to 5 mg per day, but it seemed that she was stumbling a little more. I will hope to drop the prednisone next Wednesday which will be 7 weeks from the cyberknife treatment. It seems that her rear legs are not as strong as they used to be, and that she is has a very slight drag to her rear paw occasionally. This afternoon we went to the park and she was happy looking for squirrels, although we did not find any. No one would ever know that there was anything happening in her brain.

Liz, thank you for checking in. You are doing wonderful things and I am happy that our paths have crossed.
