Hi, Before I would gve her anything I would contact a good SPCA near
where you live. or a Vet College near where you live.
Does seem odd, unless they're thinking there's some kind of skin

My positive Bailey is on pred, a very low dose to increase his

I think it depends on the cat. Peggy had a cat with cancer and was
anemic. They gave her less than 2 months to live. They put her on
Pred to make her cat more confortable.
She live over 18 months longer. She was getting B-12 shots for the
anemia and pred for the cancer.
So it helped
Steroids can save their life, though, if they are having an auto-immune
response. And it can greatly improve and lengthen quality of life when they

Dear Hideyo,
Michelle is so right; there is no way you could have known this would happen. Any surgery carries a risk to a susceptible animal; the trouble is, you can't always identify a susceptible animal.

I have a client, (I'm a dog trainer), that uses benadryl for her Lab's
allergies. She says it mellows him out. If it's something that your
vet thinks won't hurt DD, it might be worth a try. If the over-grooming
is from allergies and/or nervousness, it could help on both counts. My

Dear Hideyo:
I can't really add anything to what Nina said and said so well.
I am a bit surprised, however, to hear that the vet sent her home with you so
soon after the surgery. Didn't you say she had only been awake for 100-15
min.??

Dear Patti:
If you haven't read Dr. Martin Goldstein's book, The Nature of Animal Healing
, I recommend it highly. He has much to say about the overuse of many drugs
(especially steroids), and the negative effects they can have long term on
immune function. While steroids may seem like a

the same thing as you without any changes. I would have jumped at the
