sbctwin - it is possible that the pred and/or antibiotics are upsetting kallie's stomach? Have you asked your vet about adding in some pepcid a/c to try and settle her tummy down some? Alsoo, you might want to ask your vet if you can discontinue the antibiotics for 24 hours to see if that helps settle things down some as well. You really should not stop the pred for this can cause major health issues but if you suspect this may be a contributing factor you might ask your vet to adjust her tapering dosage. Pred typically increases an animals appetite so I'm wondering if it is not the antibiotic at fault here. Is she licking her lips (a sign of upset GI tract)? It is important you keep her eating for cats can't go more than 24 hours without food or the run the chance of developing fatty liver disease so if the chicken is working for the time I would suggest you continue to feed it. Did your vet take x-rays of her lungs? Have you considered an inhaler for kallie (yes they make them for animals but if my memory is correct they can be expensive). Finally, if your vet suspects allergies you might also ask for prescription for an antihistamine for kallie which you can administer on a daily basis. I give my cat Figaroe a prescribed dose of chlorpheniramine 4 mg each day for his asthma/allergies and it does help. Note if you vet does go this route know that this is a human OTC drug so you can save yourself some money by going to the local drug store/grocery and purchasing the generic brands (the is also true for pepcid). I hope this helps and your buddy is feeling better quickly.
