Thank you guys 
Yeah, Dr. E certainly got his message across :nod: Loud and clear, I must say
He said that there are some cats that look awesome according to that chart, but have a fat layer around the organs very much like an obese cat, putting them in risk all the same..... On the other hand, there are some cats that look larger and don't show so much fat around the organs.... Of course Bugsy fit both categories - he looks fat AND has fat around the organ :doh3:
He said aim to 16lbs, but the most important thing is, he wants to be able to have a good feel on his organs - he wants to feel his kidneys. Made that very clear. Once he gets there, he feels he is safe.
Yep on pred - I must say, I am not fond of pred...... at all..... But seeing Bugsy with raw open wounds is so, so sad..... They are SO bad. They are as big as a nickel, and so sore, that the skin completely "unglues" open meat, bleeding raw mess
Must be very uncomfortable to say the very least. Neo-predef works temporarily, and prevents from getting infected, and from spreading it, but he still scratches after the effect is over.
He had been licking himself 24x7 too, which made his hairball problems worst.
So.... while I am not a fan of pred, I know he tolerates it well, and I know that he will be fine on a low dose, for a short term. I know long term side effects will not be an issue :nod:
I am not sure if he has herpes.... I don't think so..... He has taken pred on the past for his IBD, and while it didn't make any difference for that, id didn't cause any ill effects either :dk: so I am thinking he is not......
