Thank you all very much!

She does seem well on to recovery...she doesn't seem to be in nearly as much pain, etc.

We took her to the regular vet. She is suggesting another week of prednisone, plus a muscle relaxer. Then begin a slow taper. I dunno. I think this is okay...just don't have much to base this on. She said that if things worsen, she would stop the process...perhaps give a stronger steriod.

If things worsen significantly, I'm to take the dog back to the neurologist.

No xrays were taken. Her fever is gone.

She seems much better...I am sooooo happy that we caught it early and got her on steriods. However, I just don't know what to expect from this point forward.

We are considering taking her to the alternative vet next week for an opinion.

This hasn't been as stressful as the previous experience...which was hideous, but it still is difficult. AND I do wonder now...if this will be an ongoing thing. My dog still is no where near her happy go lucky self and the house just doesn't seem the same.

Continued good thoughts/prayers appreciated. Again, many thanks.
