Well, I spoke to my vet yesterday actually I didnt he got his secretary to call me. She didnt want to listen to what I had to say. She said that the vet has been doing this job for 16 yrs and I should trust him and not go by things I read on the internet. She never explained to me why the vet told me to give Otis nutrical even though he has insulinoma. and why he mixed the pred with karo syrup except to say it wasnt enough to hurt him. So, I need a vet in Nashville or surronding areas quick! Also, has anyone had a bloated stomach from using the pred? Otis seems really bloated. Lisa [Posted in FML issue 3736]
