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) |
what internal medicine told me with dd allergies is doing in am one day and pm the next day to spread it out further than every day in am just a though you could ask him as that way the adrenals are working still as it is safest to do every other day is why your vet wants this done as derm told me it is not safe to do daily as i asked her again this last time due to dd being so itchy still on every other day but we are waiting to see if staph being gone will help before deciding on shots or more steroids. She preferred i did 3/4 every other day to doing daily but internal medicine i thought had a great idea by the am pm idea
