Vets visit for Misty

Julie - just a thought!
if the vet has put her on 10mg preds per day - do you think they meant 5mg 2xdaily, as opposed to 10mg 1xdaily? As steroids are usually given twice daily.

I know in humans steroids are usually given once daily. I can't remember how often I gave them to Lucky as she is the only one of my cats to have them

Hi there, the Vet said 2 tablets once daily and I just read the bottle again to make sure, thats what it says also then I reduce to 1 tablet a day after 7 days - should I ring them? x

In humans the regime you are describing would be right but in cats I am not sure Sweet? I can't remember what I gave Lucky when she was on them..

no need to ring them, if the vet said once daily & that's what's on the bottle then that's what's been prescibed. give them as prescribed.
{hope I haven't worried you, didn't mean to, but I've always had to give twice}
