Subject: Need to increase Pred?
Bogie was put on Pred about a yr. ago for insulanoma. I have his bg tested
by his vet and things are going well. The last test was done in late Aug.
and he is sceduled to be tested again in December. My question is what are
the signs (besides the bg test) that his dosage may need to be increased?
The last two weeks he has been lethargic (eat, sleep, eat, sleep) and isn't
showing interest in playing like he used to. I'm wondering if this behavior
is a sign that his bg level may be declining.
I probably won't be able to see the vet til next week. So, in the short
term, should I increase his pred a little or just wait it out. I hate for
him to have a seizure.
Thanks!
Marjorie
