I would try both at this point. Good luck with Isabella. This is late and I hope it finds her feeling better. tonya laurieskatz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi.

I prefer to use predisolone over prednisone - it works as well, but predisolone is easier on their liver, I think. - Original Message - From: elizabeth trent<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org<mailto:felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2007 8:03 AM Subject: Re: vet recommending doxy and pred for Isabella The prednisone will do a lot to help her feel better.

Re: vet recommending doxy and pred for Isabella
Thanks for all the input. I appreciate it.Our vet compounds and flavors the doxy. I have also consulted the internal medicine specialist and am awaiting her reply. I find that everyone (vets) has a different opinion about what to do for feleuk+ kittys who are symptomatic. Isabella's fever yo-yos which makes it hard to know what to do next. I have some probiotics here..Good reminder. Thank-you L
Re: vet recommending doxy and pred for Isabella
You may be able to counter problems with the probiotics..look to others
on the list for guidance here. I believe some mentioned compounding.

I won't give anything that will effect her appetite. A kitten we rescued had
anorexia which we finally attributed to one of the meds he was taking. The one

The note on the Doxy was not to discourage the use just to make sure the
side effects are noted and coped with.especially the intestinal
disturbances. A diarrhea can cause all sorts of problems in an immune
compromised cat and an upset stomach needs soothing so she can eat and
gain/retain weight. I have no comment on the selection of the meds themselves.

Look at the information Caroline has re anemia. It may not apply to the

with her.

RE: vet recommending doxy and pred for Isabella
Is Brewer's Yeast the same as Nutritional Yeast? I use that on my popcorn instead of butter/margarine-plus it's got iron that I need-never thought about sprinkling it on the cat food. Would I risk giving them too much iron? I know there's a warning on the side that cautions against giving too much to children.

Re: vet recommending doxy and pred for Isabella
If you give the doxy pills, and they get caught in their throat, it can burn
the esophagas.
That's what I have heard.
It's can be a very caustic med.
That's why compounding is the way to go if possible.

Yes, Doxy needs to be taken w/ food, it can cause damage otherwise.
I believe to the esophagus. (someone jump in here and help me).
I used to "hide" Serenity's in baby food, but only use the turkey or chicken
w/ gravey.
No ham, too much salt.
Cats "LOVE baby food.
And my vet also compounds it, so that it's a liquid and he adds fish, chicken
or turkey flavoring to it.
Doxy tastes really, really bad.
I taste ALL of my cats' meds to see what they are up against.
My 3 cats that are permanently on Zithromax (every 3rd day) have theirs
compounded for flavor also, even though Zith doesn't tastes bad.
