Peanut asks for prayers - New update (pg 6)

Way to go, Peanut! Chow down sweet girl...I betcha you could get all your favorites without lifting a paw.

Keep on eating and getting better!!

I'm so glad to read that Peanut is doing better. The prednisone is most likely for inflammation/asthma/allergic rhinits or something. It could also make her hungry, which might be a positive side effect in her case. Is it a tapering dose? Keep us posted.

Is it a tapering dose?

He didn't mention anything about tapering it. She gets 1/2 of a 5 mg pill a day. He gave me 10 pills and told me to give them to her until they were gone, even if she started getting better.

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.

I'm so happy to hear that Princess Peanut is so much better. Sending many kisses for your beautiful little lady.
