Yes. Combo shots of dex and depo. Depo is long-term and sort of instead of pred, can last about a month. I am not sure I would even ask about Depo though at this point. If he is improving on low doses of pred I think I would try the higher doses. The thing about Depo is that it stays in the

That sounds very promising. I know that Epoygen takes time to

blood goes down but you don't want it to go up too fast too
soon so sounds like Bailey is on the right side of the track.

Hi Michelle,
When my was anemic and wouldn't eat I tried raw she really
didnt like it most of my cats do not some do. My homepathic vet
told me that I should not feed raw to a fiv/felv cat. That it's
better to blanch it and feed semi raw. Now I know some vets say
yes and some say no.
Lucky you! Blue Ridge! My grandma lives in NC, and
sometimes when I drive to visit her, I go through the
Blue Ridge Mountains. Breathtaking...
