I have a 3.5 year old atypical Addisonian male cat currently weighing about 4.3 kg. He's on a daily dose of 4.8 mg Prednisolone, and two 0.1 mg Florinef pills a day. Although he did well in the initial period of the current dosing protocol, he's not been top notch of late (growing weaker, developing bald patches, lethargic, etc). I suspect he's developed iatrogenic cushing's in the interim period, something his vet has not ruled out. Nonetheless, the vet is of the opinion that the current dosing protocol should be more or less maintained, but with a slight downward adjustment on the Pred if necessary. I'm curious if there are any members with Addisonian cats and what they think of the current dose my cat is on. Within the past few days I've come to learn that dogs that typically weigh multiple times my cat's weight are on a fraction of the Pred dose he currently receives (usually 0.5 or 1 mg a day max), in addition to the Percorten or Zycortal injection they receive every 4 weeks or so for their electrolytes. Grateful for any feedback/guidance. Thank you!
