[Mistymillar]

We got Alfie's new drugs today. Prescription is 1/2 morning and evening for 2 weeks then just 1/2 per day. For the first few days we should keep him on his normal meds which is 1/2 pireton and 1/4 citerizine (sp?) every day and full prednisone every other day.

He has had his usual meds and only 1/2 Apoquel today as we only got to vets late morning.

Ummmm, I think he is very lethargic tonight. A bit zonked out with only a first small dose of meds. I will see how he is first thing and if he doesn't seem like somebody who took their mothers Valium to Woodstock, then I may give him another 1/2 as prescribed. He has not followed me or my husband anywhere since taking new meds, but did get very showy offy with my grandsons when they came earlier, like look how I can growl and shake this squeaky toy which is ok normal.

I need to give these meds a chance and they are new, so I will also be keeping in touch with my vet derm (Pat)

I will be considering this option very closely (obviously, it's for my best buddy) he should have a fun life chasing balls, not a long life not able to chase balls.

Also, saw a few new rashes today before he got any meds and in a place (back of shoulders) that I don't think he can lick or bite, however borderline area.

Will keep you all up to date. Just looked over and he is zonked,
