Today is day 3 and we were hoping for some kind of a turnaround, but to
no avail!!
He is off his food big time today and has found a quiet place in the
garden to rest tonight, rather than his bed.
I will ring the vet in the morning as we had planned and advise no
change and I guess then we go onto the pred...Gee I hope we get a
positive there!!

.....................Well, rats, but it's just as well you did it as most
likely the two tick diseases have now been ruled out. I hope you do get a
response with the pred. Did the vet consider Addison's disease? That can
cause intermittent lameness and lack of appetite among other symptoms. Many
times there are no blood changes until the dog is very ill.
