I've never done that so I'm sorry I can't help. I actually didn't know you could buy things like that online. I have to say though that I've noticed a massive change in the way our local vet surgeries are operating.

It's all about sell, sell, sell. I don't know how it is over there these days, but here the newly graduated vets often get jobs in surgeries that are owned by big companies and not owner/vet managed like they used to be. The last time I took my cat to the vet they just kept wanting to charge me for this or that and I knew none of it was necessary. She just needed an antibiotic.

I guess they probably were wanting to see your cat to do blood tests (kidney function etc) for the prescription of the Prednisolone.

I really understand how difficult it is Diandra.
