started the prednisone

Today was Dave's first day on prednisone, and so far, so good. He's taking his pills like a champ (a peanut butter loving champ), and is tolerating eye drop time. His eye is no longer cloudy, so hopefully he's not in danger of losing is any more. He was slow to eat again this morning, but ate everything after I added a tiny drop of olive oil and some water. It's on the list of things to mention to the vet, along with the regurgitating that he does in the morning. Other than those two issues, every day has been another day closer to his old self.

He had a visitor today - grammom!! He loves all of his grandparents, but enjoys my mom's propensity to walk him every hour. He was manipulating her today, as he always does, whining and barking to get his way. She was happy to see him in such good shape, and acting as hyper as ever.

Friday was a good day too. Nothing out of the ordinary, and he slept in bed with us again!!

This "cautious optimism" stuff is hard when he's doing so well.
