Ok, so here's Msytic's Plan

Hope things improve and your feelings about your new vet are right. You usually know when something clicks.

I hope that the new meds will be able to help Mystic. I also know a lot about prednisolone. My RB Starr had to take it and it did make him put on so much weight that it affected his health. Storm is also on it and he's done very well on it. He can get very hungry though but he also has hyperthyroidism and is on medicine for that too. Hopefully Mystic won't suffer from any bad side effects. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

We are praying hard for Mystic , and pray that she will be able to beat what is ailing her, and regain her health soon.
You are such a Good Cat Guardian to fight so hard for Mystic.

Sorry about not being accurate about pred -- prednisone. He's been on and off it since spring. We've been trying to figure out his problem for over 6 months now.

My sweet little boy acts normal. He plays, he eats, he sleeps. Never cranky, but he'll tell you when he wants to be alone (his loook should have killed me by now -- such evil gaze saying "Lady, let me ALONE!") He's just running around all day, every day, with a raging blood/bacterial infection that has 3 different vets stumped.

Continuing prayers and healing energies for dear Mystic.. be well soon, sweet boy!

I know your pain, off and on Tinkerbelle had mysterious illnesses as well. However all of her bloodwork was normal, excellent in fact for a cat her agel..I went through four vets until I found one I could work with, he was vigilant, always there for us, never hesitated to come to the phone in emergencies, saw her always as soon as I could get her there.

Sadly, nothing was ever conclusive, and in addition to the prednisolone, she was on specific vitamins, B12 shots, azythromycin, and intermittently Baytril. Outside of these 'spells' she was stellar as you describe Mystic...but whenever 'it' kicked in, all hell broke loose.

When it got to the point where it was critical, even more tests were done and again nothing showed. I was referred to a high tech veterinary clinic where they wanted to do $5000. worth of tests which, would only gain me a diagnosis, and not a cure, so I opted to let her tell me when it was time,..and she did.

So it was always a mystery, chasing a diagnosis that never came through science..but not for the lack of trying.

I do hope you have much better luck with your baby, he has a lot of life ahead of him and that will save you a ton of heartache.

Best of luck.
