Buster went for another PCV and total protein on Thurs...His PCV was about the same around 21, but the total protein is around 5 now..So his vet upped the pred to 20mg a day..divided..Does anyone know why the total protein would be dropping or so low? He seems to feel much better and is eating on his own now...I saw him go eat some dry food Thurs. before I took him to the vet..He ate some i/d wet food, too..
