The protocol Lucy is on is 5 mg/pound twice a day for a month then once a
day. That would be about 25 or 30 mg twice a day for Inky. I am assuming your
vet just decided on a different protocol because of his particular health
problems, but just want to make sure I told you the right thing when I explained
Lucy's protocol the first time. it does seem to be helping her. I am
reducing her pred slowly.
It is truly amazing that he wants to
play. Whatever it is you have done for that boy over the years, please
tell us! what a miracle!

Michelle,
We are going to put Inky on metronidazole long term..about 30mg daily so I
hope that will help with that..I talked to my vet today about what you are
doing for Lucy and she has had other kitties on similiar
protocols. As for the salt in the diet, I read in one of my
natural health books that some is good to stimulate thirst so they will drink
more...My vet didn't really seem to think that would hurt as it is in the
chicken broth that I give him, too..I also give him some salt sub at times for
the K CL since he doesn't really like tumil K very well..His K levels weren't
low though..
Anyway, I bought him a new toy and he really loves
it...I guess it is amazing that he will still play...It has a mouse that spins
around sorta like those with the ball that spins...I didn't really know if he
would even look at it..but he talks to it and messes with it for a little
while..some exercise is good for him and I am sure he knows his limits..
i did the wrong thing adding peas as he didn't digest them so that won't
happen again...I will keep him on broth, chicken/turkey and mashed
potatoes..He ate crackers today...Keep fingers crossed that his bowels will
heal so he can keep eating to keep his kidneys flushed...It all goes
together...I guess..
