For 2 weeks now. It is for his lymphoma. He was taken off chemo and I put him on dex and depo shots and took him off pred pills. The dex and depo brought his liver values down enough to go back on chemo, and are making him feel better. I did it as a quality of life for the end of life thing. For cat with lymphoma, strong steroids really give good quality of life for a while. I am hoping, of course, that the chemo kicks in and he has more time, and can wean off the strong steroids. But I think it is more probable that he has little time left, and that he will need the steroids, possibly with increasing frequency, in order to feel good for the time he has left. It is so painful to write that, but I think it is true as much as I hope it is not. Two weeks ago I did not think he would be here now, though, and I think he is in large part to the steroids (and the good energy sent by thi group!).
What did your cat get them for? Michelle In a message dated 1/20/05 4:56:00 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << How long has Simon been gettting Depomedrol? Is this his first injection? My cat was getting depo injections every 3-4 weeks for about 6 months. Finally, she was fine and didn't need them anymore. Hope that's the case with you and Simon. >>
