Well, it's been a few years since I originally posted this question...I see there have been many helpful comments, and I hope folks have had a better time of it than I did. I never could get Taz to accept the medicine. I also never new what triggered her ulcers, but since making my original...

$500 for 60 tablets? That's crazy! It must have been some kind of error? I got 120 tablets for about $27.00  just a few weeks ago through Drs Foster and Smith. Check their website under prescriptions.

I ordered mine from Drs Foster & Smith today. It is the first time I've ordered meds online. I stopped by my vets today to see if it was ok just to have the website contact them and they said they do all the time. The tech/receptionist said there should be no problem getting the vet to ok the...

Excellent! Thank you for that info - now I only hope they will still have some when I get paid on Wed.

Well, I just called my vet and they STILL say they don't have it. I would gladly pay the new price to not have to force the foul cherry flavored prednisolone liquid down my cat's throat - so stressful for her. She's so easy to pill, she thinks it's a treat! lol This situation is so very...

Oddly enough, I don't think the liquid Prednisolone is working as nearly well as the pill form. I hope my vet can get some soon...

Much to my surprise, Taz takes the liquid very easily (the cat version of easily - lol). She doesn't seem to mind the cherry flavor - I can only assume it tastes like it smells - that's the most surprising part. 

well, went to refill Taz's prednisolone, and the vet was out. She said it was on backorder, and she had been buying it up where ever she could, but ran out of options. She also said there has always been temporary out of stocks in various meds before, but she's never seen anything like this -...

This is so discouraging to me! My cat Taz, who is nearly 14, has chronic rodent ulcer. She's been getting Depo shots every two to four months for many years. Finally my Drs decided to try her on prednisolone (never having tried it for this reason before - they didn't know what to expect) and it...

I know his wife (the partner vet) uses computers - but it is a strange thing, that's why I had to share it. Melesine, I've decided I'll have the stools samples tested before I dose anything. You're right that he treats Revolution as a general recommendation - he said as much. He also said it...

LOL! 

I have been thinking about this, and because I don't want to have the cats on Revolution perpetually, like the vet wants, I wonder if I could administer a dose for a month or two to kill any potential parasites, and repeat annually providing there is no sign of parasites in the fecal tests? Sort...

No, they have never done a fecal or asked for samples - I only recall parasites being mentioned for the first time on the previous visit to this, but I may have a faulty memory. I have been bringing my cat to them for several years though, and I had to ask the receptionist today what the charge...

Actually, my emergency vet - different form my regular vet - is part of a large vet hospital, and is very holistic in her approach. She is the one that introduced me to  a raw diet, and she trained specifically at a feline-only facility. My two regular vets whole-heartedly admit that they are...

He said Revolution was his favorite wormer, so I assume it will also kill any existing parasites? (he had asked how recently I had wormed the cats, honestly, I never have). He did mention that I could carry parasites in on the soles of my shoes - a good point. So perhaps I should give the...

Hi,  I would like to know what folks here think about this. My 2 cats are 12 years old and have always been 100% indoor cats. The only time one goes out is roughly every two months to the vets for a Depo shot for chronic rodent ulcer. Generally, I like my vets ok, but I always get pushed hard...

Well I just got home from the vets. I saw a stand-in vet since mine are on vacation, and she was very informative. I briefly considered cancelling the appointment since Taz is much better today, but I still wanted to be sure her lungs were clear and she had no fever. So; no fever, perfectly...

I won't be able to see my vet until after 4pm. Missing more than 5 days of work within 6 months is grounds for termination where I work. I had a dislocated hip two weeks ago that kept me out of work 3 days. That puts me at 4 days in 4 months. No job = no care for the cats, so it's a balancing...
