Re: Lucy again
I have prednisolone in 5 mg tablets. I like it better than prednisone because it's not metabolized by the liver my Paddy, even tho his liver values are fine, has a very old liver at 21 1/2 years. I almost never use prednisone anymore, only prednisolone, they are identical except for that one thing.

Re: Lucy again
I just want to specify that I have the Prednisolone in 5 mg tablets if that is what you need. Also, from my experience you are suppose to decrease the dosage of the Pred slowly. Stages of decreasment would be for periods of two to three weeks. Precious Pets --- Pam Norman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have prednisolone in 5 mg tablets.

Re: Lucy again
When I have upped her pred it was because she had bad diarrhea, but 10 mg/day of pred makes her bowels solid within a day or two. She only vomits when relapsing, and only after eating grass. The pred stops it immediately. She lost weight when she relapsed 2 months ago, about a pound, and has not put much of it back on but has not lost more. She is about 8 pounds now, maybe a little more. I am really worried right now, though, because since last night she has not been very interested in food. She is eating a little, but only with great encouragement and harrassment. I gave her a little pepcid and a little reglan, and some fluids. She is otherwise acting ok. I am not worried about getting food into her, as she is incredibly easy to force-feed, but more worried as to why she's not wanting food when she is on so much pred. It makes me worry more about lymphoma. Michelle In a message dated 9/9/2006 10:42:54 P.M.

Re: Lucy again
Try giving her Rescue Remedy before you leave and spray the devil out of the car and carrier with Feliway and Catnip spray. It helps a bunch. Then give yourself some RR.

Thanks. Yes, I asked for Budesonide, but my local vet has never used it and will not give it to me.

RE: Lucy again
Here's vibes that Lucy stabilizes and that your local continues to prescribe the prednisone. Diane R. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 10:10 AMTo: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: Lucy again If you have prayers to spare in this terrible week with so many sick cats, please say a little one for Lucy. This time she relapsed at 7.5 mg/day of pred. I am more worried that her ibd could be morphing into lymphoma, as that is a pretty high dose. But maybe I just tapered her too quickly. I am back up to 10 a day and will taper more slowly, but am worried my vet will not refill as he thinks that is too much pred and that she should get a scope if she needs that much. Though I don't see the point, since even if she has lymphoma they would put her on that much pred anyway, and if the pred stops working they use leukeran with both lymphoma and severe ibd, so what is the point of the 3 hours of driving and invasive probes. But I will have to see, because if my local vet will not keep prescribing the pred when she needs it, I may have no choice.

RE: Lucy again
Hi Michelle, Good wishes going out for Lucy and you. I don't know about leukeran, but if she is probably going to be on it eventually anyway, andif your vet won't refill the Pred., maybe he will allow you to switch toleuk. now without thescope and see how that works?Hopefully she'll adjust to the slower taper and it won't be an issue...
