just read your email and sense you need a quick answer
to appropriate dosage for dex (which is a steroid). I
don't have a for-sure answer for you but, I can say
this....I am a health care therapist and also a patient
due to several autoimmune diseases. This I know in
humans, oral steroids are given in most cases in
multiple doses (2-4) a day as it is a short acting
medication. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

would go by the printed dosage which is usually
correct. The best avenue to get quick feedback is on
Face Book. There is a page for "Owners of Feline
Leukemia and FIV cats" There are some very active ppl
with a lot of experience that will answer pretty
quickly. I have had only a couple posts here. I like
and post a lot on the face book page almost daily.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

cat, named Roughy, was a feral cat with
FIV and FeLV. I have had him for about
four years now with only minor infections.
However, on Thursday, he didn’t eat. On
Friday, I took him to the vet. The vet
said he was extremely
anemic…unfortunately, I was too shell
shocked to ask for a copy of the lab
results so I can’t say what that means. He
gave him a shot of dexamethasone on Friday
and gave him fluids. He seemed much better
when I took him home. He gave me some dex
to give him to him. I could have sworn he
said one time a day, but the label says 2
times per day (every 12 hours). My concern
is that I am giving him too much dex. The
dosage per pill is 0.5 mg which nets to 1
mg per 24 hours. Is this ok/normal? This
is the first anemia I have experienced and
I am really worried. Poor Roughy had a
really rough night Friday. Last night was
a bit better, but he still seems to be
struggling. I would really appreciate it
if anyone knows if that dosage is ok. Of
course, I have tried contacting my vet,
but I can’t get him.
