Thanks to all of you for your posts concerning my frustration with this awful disease. Today, after 3 days of decreasing bute, Amiga was trotting again. I guess I'm going to have to get a grip on my emotions ( or maybe take Rescue Remedy by the bottle full!) and just expect that this is going to be a long roller coaster ride. It helps knowing that there are so many people out there facing the same thing. Barbara
