Ben is losing weight

[kb2yjx]

Has Ben been drinking water?? I have seen various differences in the way cats react to the steriod shot. They will drink LOTS of water, there will be an increase in appetite OR there is a decrease in the appetite(rare). One cat that was on predisone for a short time for asthma had a RAVENOUS appetite!!! That could be a cause for the weight gain!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

He drinks a normal amount of water. The vet told me to watch that. She said that steroids can occasionally cause diabetes (yikes !). His appetite seems greater than before -- but not ravenous.

He's due back in a month. I may seek a second opinion before then.
