Bandy got dex injections in the beginning as often as twice a week, but then when we realized the fevers were going to be on going, I got the pills...which wasn't as strong as the injectable. They were worried he would develope diabetis, but I wanted him to be able to eat and feel good...the

so far, knock on wood, she is still eating, on the pred. She will only eat baby food, but I add stuff to it. She eats between 3 and 4 jars a day, which should be enough calories. I think she ate less today than yesterday, but I just ran out and she licked the last of it clean, so can't be

Lucy has mostly, I think, not had bad fevers since starting on 10 mg/day of pred plus clindamycin Saturday before last. Occasionally she has felt warm, though, like she does now, and I think has a low grade fever. When at the vet on Sat she felt warm like this and her temp was 104.1. She

Actually, she now feels hot, not warm. I have two ice packs against her and she actually climbed on top of a third on her own. If it is not down in 15 minutes I will give her fluids. What I don't understand is why she got another high fever all of a sudden, after so long. She got more

Michelle, I am so sorry for all you and Lucy are going through. I've been keeping up with the discussion but haven't responded since I don't feel I have anything to add. What I don't understand is how steroids would make her less likely to have fever. Corticosteroids make the body *less* able

I have severe asthma so I feel like I know a little bit about steroids. Steroids can reduce inflammation while not fighting fever- and at the same time leaving the body unable to properly fight off infection -- that was really my point in this. Long term steroid use can have devastating effects

let me clarify also -- i'm not saying that steroids are not important...just that they don't reduce fever. i think what prompted me to say that was Michelle saying that Lucy's fever was up and that she didn't think it should be in light of the steroids...i was just questioning that because i

I now have the 10 mu vial rather than the 5 mu vial. Does this mean I give half the dose, since it is still only 1 ml in the vial, i.e. do I give .4 ml instead of .8? Thanks, Michelle

Thank you! I had an FIP vet write back to me (Dr. Pederson at UC Davis) that it is probably FIP and he thinks it's a million to one chance that it is toxo and that none of the meds including feline interferon will help. Of course, he also said that almost all cats infected with FeLV die
