 Shih Tzu personality change after steroid shot
My shih tzu had a slow-release steroid injection three days ago to treat an infected hot spot. Ever since, he has been very depressed. He eats and greets neighbors with slightly wagging tail..but the rest of the time he lays around, doesn't play, kind of looks at us blankly. Usually, he is very bouncy adn playful and happy.
I'm taking him back to the vet...but I'm wondering if this is a common side effect of steroids?? I'm very concerned about him and frankly had a bad feeling about the steroid injection..but the vet gave it to him WHILE he was telling me what he was doing. I may have told him to stop because my gut said no.
Anyway..just a worried doggie mom looking for some help.
thanks everyone. |
