Since her MRI last week (which confirmed a moderate-severe case of SM with a significant syrinx in the neck area), Chloe had been doing noticeably better. She was put on Prednisone, so that may account for the improvement, but she's been wanting to run around and go up stairs, her tail's back to wagging -- everything seemed to be getting normal again.
But then I noticed today that her tail was sometimes pointing a bit downward again, and her personality seemed off and more subdued. And just a few minutes ago while she was laying down in my mom's room, I heard her screaming for the first time since her first pain episode two weeks ago. It was high pitched, crying scream that lasted a few minutes. Previously, her only other verbalization of pain were yelps when being picked up.
I was only able to film the end of it but it went on much like what you hear in the video, but a little worse, more frantic.

I don't know what has caused this. She was just laying down. This past week since the MRI, we have been limiting her activity as per the doctor's instructions.
Right now she's just laying on the bathroom rug by herself, with her eyes open. I don't know what to do because the neuro's office is closed right now. I thought she was going to be able to be okay on medication.
