My 10 year old guy went to the vet on 7/18 (2 weeks ago). He had 2 teeth extracted during a routine cleaning and also had a nasal scope because of sneezing.
Prior to this, he was the most playful, friendly and social cat ever. I'd never seen a cat retrieve until I met him. Now he is much less playful. He ate much better after the dental work.
The vet saw a pretty inflamed nose, so we started giving him 5mg of prednisolone twice a day on 7/31. It was cut to 5mg once a day starting 8/2.
The animal has been completely listless since starting prednisolone and his appetite has diminished tremendously, particularly versus what we saw after dental work. Additionally, he is aloof - no interest in being with us. He just sleeps under the coffee table all day. He is not a hider, he usually lounges on us or on furniture.
Has anyone seen a personality change after dental work or commencing prednisolone?
