For palliative care the vet has me adding adding a drop of liquid
prednisone (a steroid, chicken flavoured, from a compounding pharmacy) to her wet food. When I got home from work yesterday she'd eaten all the gooshy food and all the dry kibble! I gave her more of the dry food and she snacked on that. Good girl! This morning I dished up more fresh kibble then went to the kitchen to dish up some canned food and add the drop of prednisone. When I got back to the bedroom she was sitting at her placemat meowing at me. Hey, hurry up with that wet food! ![]() I did my usual morning routine getting ready for work. She curled up on the bed and watched me. I gave her a kiss on the top of her head, told her I love her and left. When I got home this evening, again she'd eaten all of both kinds of food. I gave her more of the dry kibble and she ate all that, too! So I put more in her bowl. The weather turned nicely cool overnight so when I got home I opened some windows. After her snack Buffy sat on the pet steps by the dining room window and looked outside for a bit. Then she got up on my lap and snuggled and purred for a bit. Now she's back to snoozing on the bed. I will make sure she doesn't run out of dry food. She's obviously much more comfortable eating it now and she's gaining back some more of the weight she lost. I'm thrilled her appetite is back. She's also drinking plenty of water and her litterbox output is more like normal. She's definitely feeling better, even if she's doesn't feel like running around playing. Jill |

That's fantastic news! She's really coming along well. She was so poorly last week. I'll copy this to your friends on FB. The purrs seem to be working. ![]() Judith I hope so. The problem with her jaw remains but the steroids seem to be controlling the inflammation and as such, the discomfort. Unfortunately I don't have the means to take her to the far-away specialist for a biopsy. ![]() Jill |
