<p>^ One of my rescue is very difficult - she is a biter and bites the hand that feeds her. You cannot do anything to her - trim her nails, brush her, etc., without her biting and she resource guards, also. </p>
<p>She is now quite sick and has to be sedated just for the vet to examine her. It cost me $400+ just to have blood taken the other day and xrays, but all were inconclusive. I just can’t do more tests and who knows what kind of treatment on a dog who doesn’t let anyone touch her. We are now trying prednisone as a hail mary, but if it doesn’t work we will have to put her to sleep. She is in pain - shaking, can’t jump anymore and I can barely get her to go outside. Supposedly we should know if there is improvement by tomorrow. She seems to have stopped shaking but that is the only sign I see so far that is an improvement.</p>
