I was surprised to see this thread bumped up a few times.. thank you for caring so much about Riley

We think she is starting to get a little better each day but its hard to tell... she's not getting any worse though. I got her to run a little bit both inside and outside the house but I could tell she didn't have much energy because soon after she was panting and just standing around. When dinnertime came she was pretty bouncy because I made her do some tricks before I put her bowl down. She's still not playing with her toys, but she'll welcome any greenies/rawhide sticks we give her.

She's not swollen at all now. Her ear infection varies day by day, but once she's feeling better we are going to switch her food in case of allergies. She's still just laying around the house all day though. (It's really hard to tell how mopey she is because once she turned one year old she aged about 3 years.)

She's weaning off her pretnezone and some heartburn prevention pill (so she doesn't get an ulcer from the med) so she'll probably feel a little bit better after she gets off those.

thanks for all the get-wells!
