Brodie is acting CRAZY! UPDATE (back from the vet!)

[christa]

Sorry I'm just updating - It's been a busy few days.

I took Brodie to the vet on Thursday morning. He was not happy! He fought so hard! He even nipped at the vet & smacked at her when she tried to listen to his heart & lungs! LOL - they always know they're going to have their hands full when he comes in - and they always have to have a WOMAN weigh him - the guy vet techs always get eaten up!

anyway, She examined him & could feel the whelps on his skin & could feel his skin crawl as she examined him. Said that it's definitely his allergies flaring up.

His pred dosage was too low & so we have started him on 2 preds, every other day for 2 weeks . . . 1.5 preds a day for one week . . . and then one every other day after that. She said he'd probably be on that dosage for at least 3 months before we could go any lower/fewer days between, as we had been.

I am also having to put Omega 3 oil into his food. Fatty acids are "supposed" to reduce the itching & inflammation in animals with allergies. Hopefully it will work.

Anyway, just wanted to update you all . . . thanks for all of your positive thoughts & prayers! Brodie appreciates it & so do I!!!

yup fatty acids are very good for healthy skin and coat!

Poor Brody... I hope he gets over that very soon. I can't imagine being that uncomfortable.

Hope he gets feeling better soon! Poor guy, it must drive him crazy.

Let us know!

Brodie, be a good kitty and take your pills. You will feel much better soon!

Hugs and scritchies to you!
