Besides the side effects, though, there is a huge number of things steroids can make feel/look better, so diagnostically it is actually not as helpful as it would seem.<br /><br />Some place I saw steroids referred to as "a reliever of most and curer of nothing."DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-63122084962554841252012-11-18T15:50:08.344-05:002012-11-18T15:50:08.344-05:00Thank you, Leslie.

I'm usually surprised when I'm willing to consider I might be right LOL <br /><br />Either way, in five short months we might find out who was right.<br /><br />Sorry about Bella's shoulder, what happened?

If the episodes stop, then you'll know it's an allergy & you can do the test to rule out whatever is giving her grief.Karen Frieseckehttp://www.doggiestylish.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-21749004383469194082012-11-18T09:37:55.332-05:002012-11-18T09:37:55.332-05:00I don't think you're a sucker.

And I admire your willingness to consider you might be wrong. <br /><br />We've been going through some similar processing with Bella. She has a shoulder(?) injury and her vet is convinced is one thing while we are convinced it's another.

A sucker would be if you had no anguish, did no research, had no idea what the SLIT might do or not do and were just "I want to do ALL THE TESTS! Take my money, please!"
