Re: Michelle--Should I give Ewok pred?
Great! Fingers Crossed! Yes, my Josephine had a tumor in her belly too, and a few hours after a dex shot it would be visibly smaller. Michelle In a message dated 1/10/2006 9:58:18 P.M.

Re: Michelle--Should I give Ewok pred?
No, don't give him the pred. The dex should be enough for the next 24 hours or so, and the depo should start kicking in after that. How is he doing? If he perks up and then falls again before the depo kicks in, or if he does not perk up at all, I would probably try giving him some. But you are not supposed to. Has he responded at all to the combo shot? Were you able to give it to him at home? Michelle In a message dated 1/10/2006 8:21:12 P.M.

Michelle--Should I give Ewok pred?
Hi Michelle! Hopefully you're online! I forgot to ask my vet this...but should I give Ewok pred tonight (he did get the combo shot this afternoon)? I'm guessing no as I think I recall you saying that the depo replaces pred...but I just wanted to be sure! Thanks, Jen "But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
