Dear friend,

Kenalog is a steroid and pretty powerful for a two lb tiny Yorkie. Make sure she is not hypolycemic by putting 2 drops of karo syrup directly on her tongue.

If she does not immediately improve, please have the vet look at her again.

Please let me know how she is and if you have any more questions. I will be happy to help.

very sincerely,

Terri
