RPCA THREAD

Just thought I'd make a subject title that was easy to see to create a
spot (at least for now) to put new posts, despite the subject while we
weather the "storm" so to speak.

Good idea hon. I'm having a happy day because homing of older cats has
finally picked up after all the kittens have been homed. Phew.

Aye - easy to spot. Anyhow, my three are out in the garden, despite the fact
it's dull, overcast, cool and drizzling out there. Queen Of All She Surveys
is no doubt rustling up a mowsie as we speak ;-)

I just had a nice few minutes in the garden distracting Cav from the rustle
of birdies in the hedge. I left him playing football with an apple/

Pearl AND Sugar are not feeling well today Sugar had a huge furball
last night and hard poop this a.m. Some pepcid and laxatone should
clear that up, but Pearl had a coughing spate this morning. I guess I
must up her prednisone intake. I've been spacing it pretty far out, but
I guess I'll increase it. I guess better she should feel good now than
worry about side effects, eh. Gotta go grade now! Hope everyone posts
to this thread for now. Whatever one wants to post about, if we keep it
mostly in one spot, it'll be better.

I'm sorry to hear the babies aren't feeling well. Out of curiousity,
are you worried that pred affects cats the same way as humans? My
"TED" said it doesn't, I asked after a thread several weeks (possibly a
couple of months, I can't remember) ago.

I know we tried to get Tuppence (RB) to gain a bit of weight, and tried
Pred on her. She ate all the time and never gained a pound (wouldn't
you love to have *that* problem?).

Yeah, I am worried. The heart group jumped on me for keeping her on
pred. But I really think she needs it. I just try to keep it to the
minimal dosage that works. I wish there was an alternative, but that's
how it goes.

Trouble is, it was easy to hijack as well. Still I'm sure the troll will
get bored soon and move on somewhere else.

Pred does not affect cats in precisely the same way it does humans. Just
for starters, cats are not going to live long enough to have some of the
problems humans have from long term use.

I usually do not gain weight while I'm taking prednisone. Yes I eat more,
but it also revs my metabolism so I don't gain. Until I quit taking it.
When weaning off the damn stuff, I'm still hungry but my metabolism
nosedives.

We had a cat, Sam who developed allergy problems in one leg every spring.
He would start pulling out the fur every March. One prednisone shot cleared
it up. Every spring for almost 20 years.
