His appetite is back, his temperament is more normal.
His balance is about the same.
What I need to remember is he is on 10mg of prednisone a day. Right now that's 4mg per pound of body weight. His maintenance dose was 1mg, generally per 45lbs. So of course his appetite is back. I need to caution myself against false hope.
One thing we realised is that he lost 3 lbs in a week. Thank goodness for monthly vet visits? The week before he had been in for his percorten injection and was 43 lbs. As I type this, I realize he had been in the week before that for an ear infection and weighed his usual 45 lbs.
