ellie -mae update....

[Medusa]

Aw, I'm sorry to hear about Ellie Mae. The Pred will help a lot but everyone is right, she'll gain weight. My Creamsicle is on it and she's really packed it on. I'm concerned about diabetes later on, too, especially w/her being a CH baby but if I take her off the Pred, she loses her hair. We do what we have to do for our furbabies and somehow muddle through. I'm glad that Ellie Mae has put on just a little weight now, though, and hopefully she'll be feeling much better soon.

I am sure that Ellie will have to stay on the pred long term, forever, so that is not so good, i hate the thought of it,and luckily the meds are not too expensive, but with Ash as well it is becoming very hard, and i stress very much about it all, you know the funny thing, is the pred, makes her appetite funny, she is hungry but very fussy, which she never was before, she is only a little cat in stature and i certainly don't want her getting too heavy, her daughter Nikki is too fat now, and of course my Lexie is too,but her's is also due to her special type biscuits which make her fat, as i really ration her, but i have to work on Nikki, she was so under fed and skinny when i got her, and after being spayed and taken care of she has become too fat, she is around 5.1 kg, she should be at least a 1kg lighter.

Yes typical you fix one problem and create another, anyhow let us hope she is going to get better on these meds,she was hard to pill this morning and she is my easy cat to pill, maybe i am loosing my touch lol.
