    Liquid Medicine - Atopica & Prednisone (for IMHA)

    Hey thanks for the reply! The trick would def be not getting any on the outside of the capsule. It's so damn sticky! Anyways, I scrub my hands with dishsoap after giving it. Since she foams it up, I hold her jaw shut with a papertowl underneath to keep it off my hands. Sometimes it works...

    Good luck with everything and keep us posted. Why don't you guys do the b-12 shots yourselves? It will save a bunch of money! Super easy to give.

    Liquid Medicine - Atopica & Prednisone (for IMHA)

    I got it from the store. She's on a lot, per specialist recommendation. 800 micrograms, twice a day.  Btw, her Hematocrit was up to 36 on 11-18-14. After this bottle of Predniose is finished, I'll bring her in again for another test and decide if we're going to cut down on the meds.

    Liquid Medicine - Atopica & Prednisone (for IMHA)

    I would start him on folic acid asap. Just dissolve the pills in a smidge of hot water or crush them. It's at least something to start and won't do any harm since it's water soluable. The baby blood cells need all they can get to grow.  I can't remember if you said if you were giving him any...

    Liquid Medicine - Atopica & Prednisone (for IMHA)

    Thanks for the replies. So far tuna juice and salmon juice are the only things that work! If I get her to eat some salmon or tuna before her meds, she doesn't spit up as much.  I really wish there was a way to completely mask the flavors. Last night she took her Atopica well. It's real hit or...

    Anemic cat?

    Sounds like our cats are on the same meds with the same problem. I actually just posted a thread today about the Atopica taste.  My Specky is on b-12 injections weekly and folic acid daily. Her levels were a bit worse than your boys when we brought her in for her emergency transfusion, but what...

    Liquid Medicine - Atopica & Prednisone (for IMHA)

    Hi there. I've been doing a lot of reading on the site lately because of my 1 year old, spayed female, Speck, who's been diagnosed with Primary IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia). When Speck got sick on 10-21-14, her Hematocrit level was 9 and she had NO platelets. After a transfusion, a...

    Your vet should be able to compound the meds down. Maybe in liquid form?
