Hi LL,
So Leo has been all stinky pinky the last 3 cycles, i raised his dose by 1.0 unit this morning in hopes he would come down.....nope he's stayed pink today. I notice Leo is acting depressed and looks horrible this morning, then just before lunch i notice him trying to crawl underneath my bed which is something he NEVER does, he's been sleeping allll morning too. I got really worried and gave him a prednisolone in case this is SRT related, i posted all of this on the feline acro group on Facebook and a few people told me i should phone CSU and talk to Dr. Timian about it. Within an hour of giving pred he came out of my bedroom and meowed a few times and rolled around with his nanners, then went right back to sleep. He's eating great today so i'm pretty sure its not another pancreatitis attack.
Dr. Timian says this sounds related to post SRT, and that its quite possible we are dealing with brain inflammation, he should start feeling a little bit better within a few hours of giving the pred and he should be completely back to normal within 24 hours of giving it, also she said its safe to give bupe as well, which i did (gave him 2mls), if he's not 100% by tomorrow then we might be dealing with something else and will have to go and see a vet. I am worried sick about my boy. :cry: But since giving the pred and bupe he wanted to go outside and that's where we are right now, he's stalking bugs in the grass.
I know pred can raise BG's, but by how much? And how long will he stay high for? I'm wondering if i should increase him again tonight to counteract the pred.
I was due to go back to work tomorrow but i've called and booked 1 more day of holidays so i can stay with Leo until Friday morning, we need some healing vines from LL that this is just a temporary glitch and Leo is back to normal within a few days.

back to his normal kitty self, hopefully we won't have to give many more doses of it.
