I see a lot of people on here having the same problem I am having with my cat after a steroid injection. It has been exactly one week since he got it. He was injected with a long lasting one called triamcinolone that was done just for a couple rash spots from allergies. He also got all his vaccines updated the same day, but most tell me his issues are most likely from the steroids. He only sleeps and eats. He used to follow me everywhere, like to cuddle, and played hard for an hour each day and used to beg me to play. Now he just looks at the toy and doesn't care. He doesn't run around the house, just slowly saunters around. He's eating but not drinking water, which might be because I changed his food from dry to wet because he has also been constipated. He is urinating though. Just yesterday he started sneezing all day and still is this morning and he keeps stretching his mouth open especially after eating. He was so healthy and active before this awful visit to the vet that I regret so much.
I see so many say the same on here, but none ever follow up to say if they returned to normal or what happened. I want to know if anyone who has went through this can tell me if their cat went back to normal once the steroid subsides or if this is permanent or perhaps he is ill and needs to return to vet??? I did take him back to vet that did this four days ago but she is trying to say he shouldn't have any side effects from what she did and told me he is fine. I can't take him back there. Just please, can anyone give me any info that has been through this and what they did and how it all turned out?
