Hi there
As of a blood test last week Fergus PCV was 42 so vets were very pleased. We have another blood test tomorrow and if results have remained stable then a blood smear will be done, and pending those results we may be able to reduce steroids.
I have spoken to specialist twice about the tummy protectant, she was of the view that there was no medical evidence to support giving this to Fergus, and as Fergus has a sensitive tummy and has been prone to bouts of colitis she was loathe to prescribe one. Should I raise this again?
Am noticing loss of weight, possibly muscle tone and fur, drinking is increased (though we were told increased thirst/hunger is a side effect of the steroids), is there anything else we can do to help support our boy?
