Subject: hind end weakness update

I posted a few weeks ago about Dana's hind end weakness. We had the
blood glucose redone and it was 62 after not eating for at least 6
hours. Our veterinarian says that this is higher than the first time.
What is normal for this test? The vet started her on Prednisone. Now
Dana has been taking Prednisone for 5 days. She gets .4 ml twice a
day for 30 days. We haven't seen any changes yet. She still has a lot
of seizures, often one after another. Dana now eats chicken baby food
and has gained some weight.
Does anyone know if this is the correct dosage of Prednisone?
How long does it usually take to see some improvement?
