Update on sweet Wilbur....

The neurologist has concluded that he has immune-mediated polyarthritis. It wasn't caused by an infection and they don't know what triggered it. I have my own suspicion.

The Prednisone and Azathioprine have worked great. But will need to be slowly reduced to see if he can be taken off of them all together. If it flares back up they have to increase it again and start over.

His muscles are a lot smaller and won't start coming back until the Prednisone dosage is reduced. He looks kind of terrible.

He's moving so much better! And except for having low stamina and having a lot of thirst and potty time, he's doing great. He's eating like a champ but isn't strong yet.

I'm sure hoping it will stay in remission as he gets weened off of the icky meds.

Wish him (us) luck. To me he's much too young to have to go through this. This has sucked!

Thank you everyone for all of the well wishes.

I'm very thankful to have people for support.
