Update on Molly: she had her follow up appointment today and the vet reported on what the radiologist's thoughts were. They also thought it was immune mediated polyarthritis. Her swelling has gone down 50% since we started the steroids. So they want her to continue until she is stable and then we will start tapering. The vet thinks that since immune mediated polyarthritis can be triggered by vaccines (ie. shots) and since Molly hasn't had any vaccines for several months, that it is very likely the Solensia or the act of injecting Solensia monthly caused this reaction. She is going to report it to the company. She said that since there is very little known there might be more reports coming in similar now, but we won't know for awhile. I really do believe Solensia improved Molly's life for a long while. But since we can't rule out if this is what caused her most recent ailment, we won't be moving forward with a 14th treatment. Molly is still acting normal, but I do think the swelling of her joints have gone down. Today was her last dose of antibiotics which I think is what has put her off of eating her pills on her own. I did get her to eat some of her pills this evening, but it took some treats and coaxing. Hoping we can get back to normal once she doesn't smell the antibiotics. I think she probably bit into one on accident and that is what has turned her off.
Unrelated, but my husband's grandmother died this evening. She was 93. Goodnight, Grandma Betty.
