Dr. Lee sounds like a fantastic vet. I hope that it does turn out to be an autoimmune response to the Epogen and not something more serious. As you said, if she returns to the countertop after tomorrow's shot, it's likely you'll have your answer.
I'm glad she is still eating and hanging in there as best she can.

Do you think that Dr. Lee would approve you cutting back on the brushing of her teeth and rinsing of her gums just for now until she gets through this part? I'm just imagining that feeling so lousy can only be harder with having objects and liquids in her mouth. But her dental condition may be serious enough to maintain this routine so only you and Dr. Lee will know what's best. Hopefully she will be back to her old self soon! Prayers going out for you both.
