Speck is now off of Prednisone completely. She was on Atopica every other day and now is on Atopica every third day (I must admit sometimes she got it every...
Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't been back to update in a while.
Here's her updated history.

After her PCV tested to 36% on 11/18/14 (weight 9.8 lbs), we decided to give her 5 mg of Prednisone every other day. Speck still got .25ml of...
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...

I can't remember if you said if you were giving him any...

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...
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...
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...
