Jen, is that picture of him from today? he does not look that bad.   Yes, if he only got dex, you should keep him on pred.  But I really, really think that if he only got dex you should go back tomorrow and get him a depo shot too, or ask them to give it to you to give to him sub-q.  It is st

Wow, 40 mg/day of pred is a huge amount for a cat. How big was City Kitty? That is really good to know-- no vet I know would ever prescribe that much, but I always seem to have extra pred here from so many animals being on it, if it came down to it I would increase it myself.  Please let me

Hi Jen, I am so sorry to hear that little Ewok isn't doing well...I would have to agree with Michelle on this one...My City Kitty that had lymphoma was on 40 mg. of pred a day for the rest of her life...She did have chemo for 6 months with great response...but it got to a point that we had to stop
