The (supposed) bacterial infection flared up again - so she got a prednisone shot a 2 weeks ago followed by 5mg pills and a stronger longer course of antibiotics. Whether or not this is related to what is happening now I don't know. But....





She has been out of sort for a bit I've just blamed it on the kitchen construction - any kind of change sends both dogs fro a loop - and add in an air compressor and nail gun and we have a day full of walks and bones in big bed with the ac and TV blaring! They hate the construction. Understandable.





So she didn't want to go upstairs last night and wouldn't jump up on the couch at all - didn't even think of that until I saw her now. I went to put the dogs out this morning and she screamed - that awful high pitched Shiba scream - and wouldn't move. She was shaking like a leaf from head to toe. So I let her walk down the street on her own and pee on the corner - her tail was tucked waaaay between her legs, she spine is all curved up so she was a 1/2 circle of a dog and her back legs were very markedly going one in front of the other like she was walking a tight rope.



We have a vet appointment a 3 please, please think kind things for my baby girl, I am so worried.
