How old is Z? How long has he been on 5 mg? Is that daily or every other day?Really rooting
Really rooting for your taper. My vet tells me to keep at 5mg. I wince, thinking at what this is doing to him, but honestly he poops fine, all systems go, and it’s been like this now for a very long time. Anyway, don’t want to hijack your thread, but GO BETTY! You have taper fans keeping their fingers crossed for you, and if anyone can do this right it’s Miss Betty.
Except that Betty does seem to have lost a step or two to pred lethargy and a thinner coat, I wouldn’t mind leaving Betty at this level. But she’s still young and she doesn’t seem sick enough to be left at a “not an insignificant dose” (my IM’s way of avoiding saying a high(er) dose.) Betty may need pred the rest of her life. But I’d rather it be the lowest dose she can get by on rather than set it and forget it at this higher level.
I’m looking forward to more zooms with less pred.
