Zora:

Confirmed to be inflammatory polyarthritis, most likely autoimmune.
She's had two doses of steroids and seems MUCH better. Small chance the steroids could cause a stomach ulcer so hoping not.

No cancer.

We have a specialist appointment a week from tomorrow, on valentine's day.

Things I don't know:

-if she'll have to be on steroids forever

-what to do about the knee injury if she has to stay on steroids (they can't do surgery while she's on steroids)

-if this affects her lifespan

But it's not lymphoma, which the vet said is not curable in dogs. So it's the better option, even though not great.
