Hey everyone,
As I posted before, Bear started having trouble controlling bladder and bowels and I'm sure its due to being on Prednisone (for chronic bronchitis). I wanted to talk to my vet BUT was unable to. He was closed Wedenesday, Thursday I called and told his assistant what was happening and she said when I brought Murray in for his appt, which was today, we could talk about Bear. Well, my vet was in a hurry as he was going out of town and he left the room before I could bring up Bear, and when I told his assistant that I needed to talk to him, she said "sorry, he's in surgery now and then he's going out of town until 8-8-05". I was not very happy and I told her so, she said she'd have the vet call me when he got out of surgery - and he never did.
So anyway, I want to taper Bear off this stuff. I'd rather have him cough than be in kidney failure. I was giving him 10 mg on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Any suggestions on how to get him off of it slowly? I just want to make sure I do it right. I don't want to have to wait for my vet to come back.
