LadyJane, I'm following the Vet's advice, he tried to have us wean to every other day more quickly and the poor little guy regressed so badly, so we went back up to 2 pills a day with the instructions to wean him down to every other day (one pill) gradually. We're taking it slowly since it went so poorly when we tried the original rapid weaning schedule. Originally our primary Vet had him on 1 pill twice a day for 5 days then told us to wean immediately (that day) to 1 pill every other day. We went slower than that doing 1/2 pill the morning (that we saw the Vet and he said, start every other just one pill) and 1/4 pill that evening, then going 24 hours and 1/2 pill, then trying 36 hours, 1/2 pill, but by 24 hours after that (not ever reaching the 48 hour mark) he regressed and we went back up. So, this time we're weaning extremely slowly and so far so good. But, I'm so nervous about what will happen as the time starts stretching. |
