Thank you for sharing. I can feel the emotion in your writing. Thank you for the link also. I'll get the baby scale - was using my own scale, holding her, getting off, figuring the difference. Not so scientific. Your words and advice are very wise, gained through lots of experience I see, and...

@daftcat75 That makes a lot of sense. Especially because after the first incident of vomiting March 7, there have been no clinical signs. So I asked my vet, why are we treating the ultrasound instead of the cat (given that all symptoms abated) and she said she didn't want things to get worse...

Thanks again @daftcat75 I hear you loud and clear - I was indeed "off-roading" on my last response. I have no intention of stopping the 5mg abruptly (only been on 3 days), but I guess the alternative plan would be to go up to the vet's recommended 10mg (fed 12 hours apart in a 24 hour period...

Hi Margot, I'm in a similar boat. My darling Gwynnie was just diagnosed with "suspected lymphoma, IBD as a differential" and they are wanting me to go on 10mg of prednisolone per day for 3 weeks to see if she improves. She's actually eating a lot, and using her litter box fine (though her poop...
