My 12 year old cat was doing great after being put on Prednisolone. He has been slowly tapering down, but, after going from 1/2 a pill (2.5 mg) everyday to 1/2 every other day, he's started to act sickly again.
The first day off he was very tired, and, before his next dose, his stomach started gurgling again.
I called the vet and he said go back up to 1/2 a pill a day and then call back on Monday. But, Prednisolone is not recommended long-term.
What else can I do to help my IBD cat? He loves dry food which is awful for him, and only eats small amounts of wet food now before he gets sick of it.
With the IBD he has no diarrhea, but has awful projectile vomiting once a week if not under control and his stomach gurgles like crazy. He also will stop eating and drinking sometimes so has been to the vet a lot for this.
