FIV+ cat and Prednisone?
My cat has a hotspot on his foreleg. The vet treated him with oral
antibiotics and (tapering dosage) Prednisone 1 month ago. Helped a little but not much. Took him back. She's treating him again with oral antibiotics and (tapering dosage) Prednisone. She said he may need to be on a lifetime low-dosage of Prednisone. This cat is FIV+ and has three legs. I am concerned about immune-system suppression by the Prednisone. (I am also concerned about weight gain from the Prednisone in a cat with only one foreleg.) Vet doesn't seem concerned but I certainly still am. Does anyone have any information/experience with FIV+ kitties and Prednisone? |
