Was she not eating before? Pred does increases the appetite, but if a cat is getting very ill from FIP, even with Pred, they will stop eating - or won't eat as much as Lucy is eating..

No titers, and I don't want to take that much blood at this point, with pcv of 15. When your cats were not eating, were they on pred? Pred increases appetite, sometimes by a lot. I think that the reason she is eating is that she is on this much pred. Michelle In a message dated 1/29/2007 3:07:30 P.M.
