Prednisone

The follow-up visit this past Monday to Dr. Morey and lab work only showed marginal improvement in his platelet count. She put him on Prednisone in addition to the Doxycycline to get his platelet level up while the antibiotics do their thing.

His appetite is much better, but he seems to have some weight loss. He weighed 47 lbs on the Wednesday before the championships when he wasn't eating and then weighed in at 48 lbs Monday. I don't know that I totally trust her scale though since it's been inaccurate in the past. I may have to try and weigh him at home or brave Black Friday shoppers to use the scale at Petsmart. The next blood work will be Tuesday.
