That is sad to hear not only about Sebastian, but also the dog from that link. The owners of both have my deepest sympathies.

Clients should always ask questions when they don't understand something, and if the vet seems impatient or ignores questions, then find another vet!
One or maybe two trips back for the same thing is understandable, but if it keeps repeating it's worth either more lab work, x- rays, or even a second opinon. Never be afraid of getting a second, third or even fourth opinion if something has a vet stumped, treatment is not working, or you have any doubts on the diagnosis.


Steroids can go by many names; Pred, Prednisolone, Dex, Dexmethosone, Depo-medrol etc.


Hopefully no one else has to go though anything like Sebastian and this dog.
