My cat Chalupa was recently diagnosed with the lg cell intestinal lymphoma. She was just started on 5 mg of prednisolone, 1 pill per day. I also have some buprenex in 0.3 syringes I can give her which I kind of stopped to see how this pred is effecting her. Day 1 on the pill, I gave it to her the morning before I left for work and when I came home she was actually playing and jumping and had eaten a whole can I left for her and then ate another one I gave her that evening. Completely shocking to me she hasn't played in months! Day 2, she was less energetic, but still had a pretty good appetite. Day 3 seems exhausted even less of an appetite, but still eating. Is she maybe on too high a dose? Should I start giving her buprenex again in maybe smaller doses? Is it better to give the pred in two small doses rather than 1? The other thing I've noticed is sneezing and runny nose.
