celine - I started to post a reply yesterday but I am still learning to navigate this whole forum
-thank you for your response - I was told to keep her on it permanently because the O.A. is so advanced - so I don't think we are looking for a happy medium here - I just felt uncomfortable with some thing that has the potential to upset her stomach more - but getting input from you put me at ease - something like- positive reinforcement - I know we all are on a journey -and I get so much support coming on this site looking , listening to others and being able to ask questions without feeling stupid . she seems to be doing better mobility wise - as you know the dosage given by weight and I don't see the side effects like a few years ago(upset stomach refusal to eat ect...)as much - thanks again andrea
