Plushy was re-tested and is negative for FeLV/ FIV and Heartworm!
I started him on the prednisolone today. He is on 4mg per day for 5 days, then 1/2 a tab for 5 more then 1/2 every other day for 10. I gave him one in a pill pocket and he ate it right up! I also asked the vet about the i/d food and Plushy throwing it up. She said with canned food a gradual switch shouldn't be necessary so I just have to try giving him small (spoonful size) bits frequently. I am waiting a bit to start feeding him the new food again because he just took his pill and I don't want him to throw it up.
For those of you that have done prednisolone, how quickly did you see it helping and what signs did you notice? I am hoping Plushy will be more playful again if this helps. He hasn't played since October so that would be a definite sign that he is feeling better. Are there any negative symptoms I should be watching out for?
