I didn't hear not one sneeze or snuffle from her last night. Once this morning, but it wasn't one of those "knock you off your fee" ones, just a nice petite little Peanut sneeze. She is definitely more active again too.

I agree that the appetite stimulation from the pred. will be a good thing for her. She eats like a horse normally so I can't imagine how she lost two pounds except that it's just the wasting away of muscle tissue as she gets older. She was always a little begger, but these last few days she's insatiable! I bet she'll gain an entire pound back by the time she's done with the pred.
