Hi, I'm back and having problems getting Kia to eat.....She is now on 25mg of metotadine per week for the next two weeks, then back in for more testing, in the meantime she slowed down on eating right after her 25mg pill and now, 8 days later, is refusing to eat, she is still drinking fine. I'm wondering if I should give her a prednisone, call the vet or just take her to the vet. She is not lethargic, is actually showing some personality now! Any suggestions? Should I go with the pred as it is now 4:30pm and then take her in tomorrow? Cushings is awful and the lady that had her and DID NOT TREAT HER should be whipped. (sorry, just makes me mad as Kia is sooo sweet -weighing in at 3 1/2 lbs now- and as cute as a bugs ear!) Also, any thoughts on us changing her name? Would it be too traumatic as she has had the same name for 9 years?
