I'll be stopping by the pet store to check for some diapers or something to help. I always thought they had to poop in them too and didn't think that would be fair since that's not a problem. :/

Pred makes them pee a lot. This sounds terribly excessive and uncontrollable. I wouldn't be totally convinced that it is the only problem. Any reason another drug wasn't chosen that would have been easier on her pancreas? |
No reason that I know of. It was the vet's partner that we saw but we talked about how she's continuing to recover. When she said pills I even told her I didn't want to hide it in anything so I bought a can of the I/D. She just said it was the best course of action, but that some owners end up stopping the pred. because of the pee problems as well as anxiety, increased energy & just acting a little strange over all. I didn't see that as a reason to avoid it, I was worried about her opening up her skin from itching & getting infected. Honestly I never worried about a med making her pancreas worse-honestly appreciate that tid bit. She's down to one pill a day for a few then every other so hopefully it'll be better soon!
