HELLO! THE FIRST TIME I TOOK HIM TO THE VET THERE WAS A SPECIALIST VISITING AND I TOOK CREATURE TO HER THE NEXT DAY. SHE ALSO DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS BUT SHE DID SUGGEST THE STEROID SHOTS WHERE MY VET HAD SAID SURGERY MIGHT BE NECESSARY. I AM THRILLED THE SHOTS DO WORK BUT I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER- ITS NICE TO KNOW THERE ARE CONCERNED PEOPLE OUT IN THE WORLD. THANK YOU AGAIN, JAN
