Just thought I'd give a quick update on Missy and Oscar since it has been about a week since their vet visit.
Missy's appetite and activity level seem to be improved after a week of antibiotics, so it seems that she did have a low grade "bug" of some sort bothering her. It does seem at this point that the rear end weakness is not related to a Lyme Disease relapse, though. If it were, she'd be a little steadier after a week of antibiotics... and she is not. So we will just try and hang in there until she can start acupuncture next month.
Oscar is doing pretty well with the antibiotics and antihistamine. His skin irritations are drying up and his eyes are much less puffy. I am always VERY glad when we don't have to use any steroids (topical or oral) to help clear up a skin condition. I realize that sometimes steroid use is inevitable but I still hate using them.
