I've been watching Jack pretty closely, lately, knowing that we weren't measuring his 'lytes on a monthly basis. I haven't seen any of the trembles, lethargy or other symptoms of Addisons.
I ordered Percortin from Pet Meds, and cited a 'price match' policy of theirs. I got it for $161, and hope I can continue getting it at that price, along with a couple of cheap syringes.
I approached giving Jack his shot with a little trepidation, but it went just as smoothly as I'd expected. He didn't even seem to feel it, and just enjoyed the attention (and the treat after!). Staying with the current 2cc dosage for now, though I suspect we can cut it down without any issues.
I started cutting the prednisone tablets into 6 pieces, giving him one twice a day, without any change in his behavior.
Cleo has started a little 'leaking' during the night, so the vet put her on an Estrogen regime: One/ day for 5 days, and then one every 5 days. She didn't quite make it to day 5, so we'll keep her on one every 4 for a while. She's been very perky! Dancing in the front yard before our walks, and we even ran for a whole block! She saw a cat and took off like she'd been shot out of a cannon! Well, a pretty weak cannon, and there wasn't a chance she'd go in the street, or actually CATCH anything. But it was a gas to see her spring into action again!
