Hello:
I've posted about my cat's eye lid inflammation before. I took her to the allergist and went through his program for a month. I bought his non allergenic food and kept her inside. He also gave her steroids so that the infection would go away, and we could see if the new regimen was working IF it DIDN'T come back...
This is the THIRD round of steroids she's been given - twice by her regular vet, and once by the specialist... The bill at the allergist was $355, and I spent over $100 for two bags of this food. He told me that if this tactic didn't work, the next one will be even more expensive and more painful for my kitty...
Well, it came back. I let her get real bad again, and then I got her another prescription of steroids. A month's supply costs $12... The steroids give her relief in the SHORT run, but what am I doing to her in the LONG run??
