Hiss is doing much better the past couple of days. He seems to have these little episodes at night, but the frequency has decreased tremendously. It was only a few times last night. His tail is also healing up with the doses of prednisone. He whines as if I'm torturing him when I give him his dose though. Of course he may have some right to object ,as I hold him by the back of his neck and push his mouth open give him the pill. He likes the canola oil even less.
Right now, he's lying in the window enjoying the sun. You can how patchy his fur is, as if I tried to 'feather' it for him. He will be a very handsome cat, once we get his hair 'all growed out' again. That's my goal with him: get him healthy enough that his hair all grows back.
