any thoughts?
I think it all hinges on whether you think she gobbled up two 2.5mg doses this morning. If you think she did for sure, then she's gotten a 5mg dose today already. So it would be your decision, and your view on what your vet might propose (since they are closed tonight, you'll need to decide). But giving her 2.5mg again tonight, to come to a 7.5mg dose, is not a terribly big deal -- for one day. All I can say is what I would do with my own cat. If I really felt she had gotten 5mg already in one day, I'd wait for the following day. My cat Milly has allergies/asthma and has been on small doses of pred per day (or every 2-3 days), even as I've been spending time trying to wean her off of it by using Flovent w/ the Aerokat.PushPurrCatPaws
She does have quite the appetite, but it's been like that ever since she started on it over a week ago. I wouldn't say she seems more active, she's been pretty lazy & snuggly tonight. Is it safer to not give her the evening dose in case shes had 5mg already, or is it safer to miss a dose if she didn't get 5mg this morning? My vet is closed for the night unfortunately.
