DAY 23 HYDRAZINE SULFATE
Reintroduce weekly homeopathic remedy
SCHIRRINUM 30c : 3 doses at 8 hours apart. Repeat weekly on Wednesdays.
First dose in evening, 2nd dose next morning, third dose next evening
Cover bottom of lid with a layer of remedy pills, and dissolve in one cup of water (20 minutes). Stir ten times and then give her 2 tsps. Keep it covered and repeat the stirring for the next two doses. Use a clean tsp each time. Do not put a used spoon back into the mixture.
No ESSIAC tea
No Chaga tea
DAY 8 OPC x2 - supplement
DAY 7 CF IP-6 & Inositol x2 - supplement
DAY 7 ph 8.5 Alkaline 'Kangen' Drinking Water (discontinuing from now on - see below)
FOOD
Morning: Organic pork sausages x4, medium rare, one egg (poached), one carrot (raw)
Afternoon: EVO small bite dog kibbles.
DRINKING: Normal, but we ran out of Kangen water last night, but she refused to drink the ordinary filtered water in its place, and resorted to a puddle outside. Soon as I filled it up again with Kangen water this morning, she drank from her bowl again. So she likes Kangen :)
Visit to the Vet Today
WEAN LUCY OFF PREDNISONE?Introduce WEEKLY SCHIRRINUM dose (see above)
DISCONTINUE ALKALINE WATER?
Homeopathic Vet says dogs & cats have acidic bodies naturally. Alkaline is not good for them. This contradicts what I have read online... but is that because they are just trying to sell the product?

Waiting for them to call me to confirm this approach that I have requested. I think it helped a lot to get her apetite back but I am concerned about its long-term use preventing the chance of remission, however small that chance may be.
Could be risky, but alternative is that a remission is not possible, since using Prednisone is only "buying time". (I was rather shocked to find that out today.. I wish that had been made clear at the time that it was suggested for her to take it. ) If she is successfully weaned off it, and the other remedies keep her functioning well, this would be a cause to celebrate.
However, on the down side, it is possible that she will regress without it, and returning her to Prednisone a second time might not be as effective as the first time.
It is a difficult choice but my intuition says it is a good choice to make right now. If she starts to regress when we start lowering the dose, then the vet says they would then recommend returning her to the current dose.
