Onyx (civie) was given Prednisone for his allegies, he has only been on it for 2 days, but has me concerned. They started him on 10mg (seems high for a 13 lb cat) for the first 4 days. The biggest change I have seen in him is he is drinking like a diabetic,(huge pee balls in the litter box) and isn't eating like his normal piggy self. He will ocassionally vomit, not much but some after eating, or shortly after taking his pill. Is there anything I should be watching in him or are these normal for the early stages of the drug? It doesn't seem to be helping his itchies much either, he is scratching less but still scratching. He is more social now, not hiding in dark places like before and is now back to joining us for cuddle time in the evenings on the couch.
He is very easy to test, he was my home testing teacher when Muse became ill so if I should be watching his BG that isn't gonna be a problem with him. He bleeds very well. Just the excessive drinking and lack of appetite has me worrying over him. Since I know it is a steroid and they can cause diabetes in kitties.
