Cortisone Shot Side Effects
I'm taking him back to the vet first thing in the morning - does anyone have a pet who has had the same reaction?
Cortisone Shot Side Effects
All the symptoms described by pet-owners are those of a massive overdose of steroids.
Cortisone was made by Ciba-Geigy. They went bankrupt. Novartis took over the medical division, and stopped all production this year (2009). So it is likely that either hydrocortisone, prednisolone or prednisone was used.
The over-activity described is due to a huge excess of blood sugar (energy). The thirst and dizziness are diabetes. The bloated stomach is water-retention due to the mineral action of the drugs.
Small animals need PICOGRAMMES (thousands of millionths of a single gramme). Anything more is a vicious maltreatment of a defenceless animal.

the doctor denies it's related to the shot and said that doesn't happen but obviously it did because she was like a playful kitten before that and now she's ruined! and he asked if she'd fallen off anything... yeah, sure, deny their involvement and try to turn it around on us. we are thinking about suing.

All of us care deeply for our four pawed children. I take this very seriously. Please let me expand on the entry from San Antonio on 5/29/90 re: cortisone shot reaction(s) in my cat. She had a flea allergy diagnosis when I brought her to a veteranarian. She said it would stop her incessant licking, pulling her hair out, and itching problem. It did not. Her stomach is enormous; she is walking wobbly as described by the reporting person on 05/29 and she has had no noticeable positive results from that shot. A second vet in the same hospital refused to repeat it when my kitty did not improve and did not approve of the first one at all. A diagnosis of alopecia was made; amoxicillin for her sores all over her tummy, legs and derriere did no good, and she did not respond to the second vet's Rx of children's over the counter allergy syrup plus a tri-vitamin product. My kitty is not hiding all day from all this medication and hassle to coax her to take it. She is no better months later. Her alopecia is worse. For now another allergy tablet has been prescribed but no results after ten days have yet emerged. I am just sick over this prolonged problem but the cortisone shot is most certainly the worst outward showing of reaction to the entire program. I am sorry I agreed to it and will never do it again. My kitty is actually embarassed of her appearance. She is not eating well at all and looks like she gained tremendous weight. She was absolutely gorgeous before this shot; I was told the likeliness of these side effects disappearing is not good. I was told it was necessary to treat all areas for fleas in an extremely aggressive manner (yet she did not have fleas on her). I did. Nothing resulted from two days of upheaval, making kitty leave her home for two days while the bug bomb product "took". I now face using allergy-friendly food which may or may not work and may need to see a dermatologist. I don't know if these specialists can do any better. I don't like the description of the meds suggested, especially after this cortisone episode and the lack of luck with all these other suggestions by the vet. At this point my kitty is hiding most of the day. She is so different it is scary. I tried a skin/allergy holistic product on her a few months ago but I saw no improvement. I am still open to holistic approach, however, as I think a lot of money and trauma and time dealing with "maybe's" by specialists is going to be an exercise in frustration where kitty and I will both be pulling our hair out.

The biggest mistake that majority of doctors make is that their first instinct is to reach for the steroids. They need to first figure out what is causing the issue, or the problem will most likely come back after said drug wears off. Most commonly itching and scratching is allergy related, that can usually be controlled with a diet change. When I say diet change I am not talking about prescription diets either; these diets are garbage and a waste of money. You need to get away from the junk all together; corn, wheat and soy especially. Best option is raw or at least a grain free diet. But please make sure to do your research on brands as your major pet stores do not tend to carry brands worth while. And these stores rarely have a knowledgable staff. And if you choose to go dry rotate between protein sources (buy a different variety each time) Once on a good diet you do not need to be concerened with mixing them over anymore, the stomach upset doesn't tend to occur once you eliminate the garbage.
Regardless, require that your vet find what is actually causing the presenting problem. DO NOT let them just reach for the quik fix. Also bare in mind most vets ARE NOT well versed on animal diet and nutrition.
If you would like an excellent site that goes into the holistic approach Dr. Becker is amazing.

our cat panted four days. took him to the vet, he gave him steroid and antibiotic shot. cheddar the cat was only 2 years old. my husband arrived home 30 minutes after the vet, checked, my little girl looks in the truck and said that's not right, her mouth is open. I looked he's dead blood coming from the mouth. 5 stunned kids and 2 adults in utter despair. sounds like the vets are drummin up biz with this shot. Disgusting and shameful grrrrr

I hope you plan on looking into it? Almost the same thing happened to my cat; she was very sick and the vet. Took her out in the back room then he said he gave her a pill to help her eat and drink, I took her home with the remainder of the pills but I first looked up the script on the computer only to find the pills(antihistamine) did the total opposite plus her heart rate went sky high, she was panting severely and could no longer get into the cats box or even walk, with in a few minutes she was dead. I was deathly sick and enraged. The vets. Are made to experiment peoples medications on our animals. Ask a lawyer what you can do, the questions are free. Write letters to your senator Dan Rutherford; 320 North Plumb Street, Pontiac Ottawa(815-842-3632)..... Linda Holms;bld. 2B1 - 13300 S Route 59 Plainfield, (815-609-3711)Even if you don't get any results, at least you have put a bug in their ears, Next start a petition make it public where people can sign this petition send it off one by one, keep a copy for you send to senators and the white house I did. It makes them look very bad in the public's eye. Good Luck and god bless
