My mom is very much in touch with her vet, and Pyka goes in tomorrow morning.
He's the 8 yr old Lilac Point Oriental Shorthair that has had a chronic URI. Anyway, two days ago, the vet had a good look at his records, and Pyka was taken off the Zythromax and put on Prednisone.
He has a large hematoma on his ear (mostly fluid) that will be lanced tomorrow. It is driving him nuts, and he scratches it.
Since he started the pred, he has become panicky, is sleeping in hiding places such as behind the books in the bookcase, or on a backpack in my Mom's closet. Also, apparently scared, he has tried to jump up on a kitchen counter and another mid-height item, and has come crashing down!
He is NOT sneezing any more, and actually slept on a bed today, and his brother Shiney cuddled with him twice.
While Pyka has been hiding, poor Shiney has been looking for him...
Side effects? Zythromax withdrawl? Poor Pyka, he's not happy, and Mom is worried.
Thank you if you can share any experience to add to Pyka's vet visit tomorrow.
