Not good.Originally Posted by Barbara
She was itching up a storm and throwing up so the vet placed her on Prednisone (possible food allergies and possible irritable bowl). Not the solution I wanted, scared of the side effects, but I didn't have a choice. We're trying a hypoallergenic diet but Nakita keeps turning her nose up at it.
We're on the third one right now - duck and rice and she eats a little bit of it (recommended serving is 1/2 cup and she might eat 1/4 cup). Prednisone usually has the side effect of increased appetite, but this isn't happening with Nakita.
I went out and purchased some Wysong duck (only meat, no additives) and she's eating a little of that along side the dry. We'll go back to the vet in 2 weeks to do a follow up. I just don't want her to lose any more weight...she's already down to 4.8 pounds and she doesn't have much left to lose.
And to top everything off...it looks like Nakita might be constipated now (not sure if that's drug related or food related). What else?
*sigh*
