I'm also hoping and praying that the treatment works quickly and is successful for many years to come!
Correct Hazel, The Percorten-V is a monthly needle. Between my daughter & Son-In-Law, I suspect she will have to be the bearer of the monthly injection as my SIL is totally afraid of needles!

It should help alot being back in her home environment, less stress and stress is the main thing you have to keep a handle on.
One of the things that we've noticed is her losing her fur! O-M-G!! We can't believe how much her fur is falling out! Hopefully with the new medications, it will help balance her out
