update- tapering the prednisone Saturday was her first day off prednisone; to begin the tapering to every other day.
She usually begs for food; however Sunday morning she smelled the food and pulled away; she didn’t want to eat and seamed nauseated. I was concerned because that’s what she used to do before she got sick.
i am thinking maybe It’s a bit early to taper to every other day;
i called the vet today to ask if we should go back to once daily; or at least one dose one day and half dose the next. Maybe she needs a longer treatment; i am scared she will relapse.
he said it's only been one day she didn't eat; he said to continue one dose every other day and wait to see if she vomits few times before i call him.
i wasnt happy with his answer, because i dont want to wait until she gets sick again and vomit before i call him.
i think it will be better to give her one dose one day and 1/2 dose the next; before i start the one dose every other day. not sure what to do.
anyone had similar experience.
(Just a reminder she was on it twice daily for 2 weeks; then once daily for 2 weeks; and now we are trying to taper to every other day)
