Hi Tracy,
We've already had the fluid drained once. The vet thought that he might
be able to absorb what fluid might have built back up since then,
(before we started giving him the steroid). My plan is to take him in
if his breathing becomes labored, but not to stress him with the car
ride and a vet visit if it doesn't. His breathing actually seems to
have slowed and is less shallow, so I think I made the right call.
Thank you for letting me know how much it helped your kittens and thanks
too for the well wishes.
Nina

Since he is feeling better, would you consider having the fluid drawn off
his chest? If the dex shots slow things down, drawing off what is there,
might really help him feel better and eat and get stronger. He is your
kitty and you know him best, but I've had kittens who needed this done and
it was not that traumatic and it really made an improvement in them. I'm
so glad Spencer is doing better and hope he continues to feel good.
