Bloodwork came back! Her kidneys and liver are normal. He said she was a little anemic, possibly due to the fleas, and her lymphocytes were low, which he said is not unusual in a 13 year old cat, and that could be contributing to the weight loss. He recommended a steroid called prednisone (?) to help stimulate her appetite. Thankfully it's affordable for me and I can go pick that up today. He also said to use Frontline once a month on her. The pill he gave her definitely killed the fleas, but now I gotta use Frontline on my other cat as well so she doesn't get them again. Are there any side effects to this steroid I should know about, and would it help in stimulating her appetite and putting weight back on her?
