Hi,
Have 2 older kitties on these meds.
One is losing fur all over, started down spine now patchy all over. Definitely not a stress response and all labs look good, but she has IBD and was on meds now 5 years, 5 mg daily.
Other has a lot of trouble with hind legs, she falls to the side often. X rays are fine, still jumps but she is skinny also on 5mg and she is 7pd 3 ounces.
Labs are up to date, Vet said could be from Pred but it's important for them.
The fur loss is mysterious, started slow and progressing faster now. Both girls are rescues and likely around 17 or 18 so it's shocking labs are good but I see it in their fur and bodies and it's hard to think about. I've been very lucky with these two but want to keep them happy and active.
Thanks for your thoughts.
