Wednesday was Grendel‘s first day on a reduced medication regimen.  He’s off the nausea suppressant, appetite stimulant and antibiotic.  Now he’s only on the asthma inhaler and systemic steroid.  So far there is nothing to report on his progress.  While he’s still showing signs of improvement and — dare I say it? — is near being his normal self again, the vets agree it may be several days before we know for certain whether we found and treated the correct problem.  If by early next week he is still doing well and not back to being his sickly self, I’ll feel more confident that we have been successful.  For now, it’s hurry up and wait.
