The other odd thing is that when he was taking Dexamethasone one of the side effects was an increased appetite and increased water consumption which he had.When the breathing problem worsened, however, he couldn't drink or eat because of all the mucus in the throat and discharge from the nasal passages and there was a problem, as the result, with dehydration. Now that his breathing is better, he can breathe through his nose and the mucus is clearing from his throat, he still doesn't want to eat very much and doesn't go to the water dish at all. I have to hydrate him daily.
