[Theodore]

Ted had his after surgery check (nasal surgery). He is doing great; yet his reverse sneezing has increased and has a drippy left nostril; so they gave him 5mg prednisone to take every day...until further notice.

I just can't bring myself to give him a pill. So many scary stories. When he was on Temaril, he was dying of thirst, starving, peeing everywhere and panting, and from what I read this will be even more so with the prednisone. Ted already weighs 14 pounds and really can't afford to gain more weight on his little stick legs.

I just don't know. If I don't give it to him and another mass grows, I will never forgive myself (since they are not sure if carrot choking incident caused inflammation or something else). yet if I give it to him and he gets cushings or kidney problems....I just don't know what to do.

Anyone have a wee one on prednisone? Do they take 5mg every day?
thanx for any suggestions.
