Last fall we suspended Liz's TB drugs to allow her some time to recover from the side effects. When she became stable again, it was time to slightly increase her dose in order to attain therapeutic drug levels. One drug at a time, the increase took place and Liz remained stable. Now as we enter the new year, her treatment continues, and although she is eating hay well, her palate has steered her away from grain and produce yet again. She has lost a little of her vitality, as she did several times last year, but each time she bounced back.
Our panel of caregivers, veterinarians and scientists continually reviews Lizzie’s treatments and the way she reacts to them. We continue to explore new ways of easing her troubles and hope that 2011 sees the major recovery we all hope for.
