Update:
Tried the Prednicare for 2 weeks and some days we thought he looked a bit better, other days just as he was without it. Been very hard to judge if its had any positive effect or not, and the weather has added to the difficulty because the warmer days make it worse for Jasper despite any medications. Vet said if I was struggling to tell then it probably wasn't helping that much, but maybe I've stared at him that much I don't even know anymore And I guess I don't even know what an improvement is supposed to look like other than slower, steadier breathing?! Anyway it was decided we go the bank holiday weekend just on the corvental and try to figure out if he looked worse without the prednicare.
And the verdict is... I've still no idea. I'm driving myself insane trying to figure it out, one minute he looks relatively relaxed and his breathing is slower, then the next he's very 'bouncy' and his little body looks more like its throbbing again.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Now I'm thinking maybe its better to go back on it, in case it is helping ease him, even on those bad, hot days and I just can't tell. But then I think what if its doing harm to him that I cant see? Because the vet said steroids could make it worse too! I cant cope with this weight of making the right decision without having anything concrete to help me.
I am so sorry to hear this, and that you're in such a dilemma over what you should do.
I think you should present your dilemma to your vet and let him help you make the decision. If necessary write him an email and ask him to ring you, or else ask him to call you back when there is time to chat it over.
Hugs for you xxx
