<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">I 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. </span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> I 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.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">My 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.
