Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex in Cats - Part 3
Okay,
Lily returned for her recheck today.
Really fantastic results! She looks normal! Her upper lip is about 99% healed, and her
paw is totally normal as well.
I did a chemistry panel today, and it looks like there were no deleterious effects of the steroid injections. I didn’t think there would be, but the potential was there. I really dislike giving steroid injections, but a case of this severity necessitated it. As I indicated after the last recheck, I’m going to prescribe prednisolone, 5 mg every other day, to see if we can maintain the skin looking so good. If the condition stays in remission, I will try to reduce the dose even further, and hopefully wean her off steroids for good.
