I haven't written on my blog for a few months. Georgie was doing really well...brilliantly in fact. The vet reduced her Pred to one 5mg tab per day and then also reduced her Cyclosporine to once a day (0.10 ml) and the Cytosar injections to once every 6 weeks. All was well. 2 Weeks ago we decided to reduce the Pred further to one tablet every second day...BIG MISTAKE..poor Georgie started relapsing. I was absolutely heartbroken. I immediately upped her Pred to the initial dose of one tablet twice a day and upped the Cyclosporine to twice a day again (0.12ml). I phoned the vet and we agreed that we need to keep the levels of everything else high while reducing the Pred down the line. She goes for her 3 weekly Cytosar injections this weekend.
Fortunately Georgie's relapse isn't nearly as bad as the original symptoms but I think I watch her so closely that we caught it very early.
It is very worrying for me that she clearly can't cope without the Pred. Of all the meds I was really hoping to get her down to as little as possible on Pred. Maybe with the higher Cyclosporine and Cytosar doses we will be able to down the line.
