Lily finished her prednisone medication 10 days ago and id doing good. For the past week she resisted being picked up to be carried up or down stairs. Finally, we gave her a little more freedom by allowing her to first hop over the back door threshold, then go up the back steps, She tolerated it well and progressed to going up and down the back steps. She also is permitted to jump up on the basement couch. Two days ago she was allowed to go up the basement stairs and the down them. She has done well. Only one stumble going up the stairs because she was in such a hurry I think. Still block off stairs to limit her activity somewhat. She likes her new "freedom" and is more herself. When she was being restricted she acted like she was being punished. She especially likes going for car rides again and we still lift her in and out of the car and have the back seat blocked off so she can't go back and forth .
