so last night was also one of her prednisone doses (we're now down to 5mg/every other day).

roses is an exceptionally mellow dog. she has the classic sighthound personality (can run REALLY FAST for a short period, otherwise likes to lie around looking art nouveau) to the nth degree.

she finds prednisone really agitating, even at this level (remember that we started at 20mg/2xday). she spent three hours dragging her bed around the room (not a trivial task for her), digging frantically through my bedclothes, asking to be walked but then not wanting to go out, whining and barking, not wanting to eat or drink (one of the useful effects at the higher dosage was increased thirst, which helped stave off dehydration, but that doesn't appear at this level). after those hours, i was able to get her to concentrate on chewing a greenie, and then she kind of crashed.

cancer sucks :/
