Poor Pyka - better update post 15

Easing off the prednisone, the so-called Magic Bullet. So why are they easing off it then?

When an someone is on Prednisolone/Dexmethosone/Steroids it causes the body to cease making it's own cortisone. If you abruptly take them off the meds it causes their body to 'crash' from lack of cortisone. A gradual reduction is always called for with this medication to give the body time to go back to making it's own cortisone.

Pyka started on Clavamox again yesterday evening - the vet even suggested a double dose.

This morning, Pyka did something he hasn't done for over a week - he came down from the closet shelf where he has been sleeping since he got sick, and snuggled up with Mom on her bed as usual, and just PURRED. His breathing sounds better.

She says he hasn't sneezed yet.

This is good news - his brother Shiney missed him and even got up on the closet shelf a few times to snuggle with him, even though there was hardly room!

So....back to drug #1.

Thanks to everyone who posted with feedback...we'll see how this goes.
