The vet blames an underlying cause like whatever is causing the low platelets, which we acknowledge but believe is a separate issue. The drug is used in numerous health issues in canines and when it is discontinued, the process should be slow and gradual, and may take a few weeks. Maybe it was too much? Certainly there is the possibility of the effects being coincidental to the underlying cause's effects, but as we have decreased the steroids we have seen slight improvement.
