I work with his vet and no I can get medications if needed if he starts to show signs of respiratory issues but long term steroid use I heard is not the best. When he sounds like a little pig I'm all over it and making sure we never get to the point he was at the last time. His vet is happy with his progression and says he's doing great. Thank you about asking about medications for him but as I do with any members of my human family pharmaceuticals is not always the best. |
How true! Of course, that is tempered with the absolute willingness to utilize pharmaceuticals when they do become necessary and provide much needed and appreciated relief to the patient!
