She was very active last night-- went into living room, explored under the
couch, climbed to the top of the cat tree, and purred a lot. I had increased
her pred from 10 to 12.5 mg/day the night before. Her appetite is increased as
well. But she is super lethargic again today, though still
No titers, and I don't want to take that much blood at this point, with pcv
of 15.
When your cats were not eating, were they on pred? Pred increases appetite,
sometimes by a lot. I think that the reason she is eating is that she is on
this much pred.
