Hello everyone:
here I am, once again sad and worried because Lucas is started to get sick again (he has discoid Lupus). he was doing so well and I'm angry because I think the vet has no experience with this type of illness and doesn't know what he is doing. I don't think he is giving Lucas the right doses of prednisolone.
Ok, first he prescribed 5mg every day for two weeks and then 5 mg every two days and everything was working great. Then he told me to lower his dose to 5mg every three days, that didn't work, Lucas got sick. Then he told me to give Lucas 5mg every day for one week and after that 5mg every two days again. Now he is sick again
I'm not a vet, but I think Lucas needed to be on Pred every day for a longer time, one week or two weeks is not enough time to get his condition under control. I think he lowered the doses too quick.
I don't know what to do, I'm thinking of changing vets. But I'm scared of that, what if the new vet makes it worse?
I'm consused and worried
