I understand--ok, here's the concentrations and other info.
A week ago, Jeebus weighed about 1.8 kg or 4 pounds. (He's a little
chunky monkey.)
His meds are:
1) 0.4 cc of Prednisone, 5 mg/ml -twice a day
2) 0.1 cc of Metronidazole, 100mg/ml -once a day
3) up until this afternoon, 0.1 cc of Lasix, 10 mg/ml -twice a day.
We're increasing this to 0.2 cc twice a day as of right now.
He also has insulinoma, and is suspected to have adrenal disease too.
He gets monthly Lupron shots, and tomorrow he is due for one.
Of course, when I got home this afternoon from work, he looked better.
His breathing sounds less raspy and he did some digging of the bath
mat. Took his meds like a champ (as always) and let me scratch his
head, and then looked accussingly at me when I pulled my hand away.
So we're still confused.
I think our approach is going to be: go to the vet, have her take a
look at him, do an xray if need be, and see where we are tomorrow.
Thanks again for all the info and support. It means a lot to us.
