Michelle, I am sorry to hear Lucy isn't doing so well yet..I don't know why they won't give you some dex or give her a dex injection..I know it works the fastest to reduce the temp..It is almost standard procedure from any vet I have used for dogs or cats here..It also hits any inflammation that might be going on more rapidly, too..at least until you can get a firm diagnosis, it always helps. Bandy's temp never would go down much with an incease in pred. Anyway, I hope you get the answers at the specialist.. We will pray than it isn't wet fip or lymphoma. You two are in our thoughts and prayers, Kerry, Angel Bandy and Inky
