Finally off of Pred!

Peanut is finally off of Prednisone!! She has fully recovered from the steroid responsive small white dog shaking syndrome. She does still however have some of the side effects lingering from the steroids. We have three dogs total and Peanut has always been top dog. With the steroids she started resource guarding. Specifically guarding me and food. I had a trainer come to the house that I've worked with before and trust. One of the big changes we have to make is keeping Peanut off of the furniture and off of my lap. She also suggested a few exercises to practice with all of the dogs, only giving her bones in her crate, and increasing Peanut's exercise. Since summer has come early in Rochester I've been walking Peanut every single night. She is slowly improving but it is taking time.
