Statistical comparisons made by Fisher’s exact test with significance defined as P <0.05. Statistically significant differences are shown in bold

^*Overall test run on data from days 1–42 (pretreatment data [days −6 to 0] were excluded from overall analysis)

CsA = ciclosporin (cyclosporine) A given at 7.0 mg/kg, PO, daily on days 0–42; MP = methylprednisolone at 5 mg/kg, IM, days 0 and 21; control cats were administered corn syrup, PO, daily on days 0–42
