Update: we have seen a second vet who was just as baffled by Luna’s condition and recommended we make an appointment with a specialist, which we did.

Aw that’s good to hear– ok i will try that before any expensive tests.do you know why they are administering the penicillin injections every other day versus everyday? I asked but the vet isnt in to respond to my question.
