Spoke to the owner who was at this point getting very shitty about the &amp;quot;post -op &amp;quot; problem and asked if the cat ate anything unusual and she said bizarrely that it loved the taste of fried onion rings left over from their take-aways, they thought it was funny watching her eat them.It recovered very quickly with dexafort and pred.

That&amp;#39;s a pretty dramatic improvement in PCV in the timescale. Surely if it had been symptomatic for a few days and its PCV was down to 13 it should have looked more strongly regenerative? Any pyrexia? I&amp;#39;d taper the preds and see what happens - not a lot of alternatives. You know what they say about never letting anything die without giving it steroids ...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
