Hi Michelle,
Good wishes going out for Lucy and you. I don't know about leukeran, but if she is probably going to be on it eventually anyway, and if your vet won't refill the Pred., maybe he will allow you to switch to leuk. now without the scope and see how that works? Hopefully she'll adjust to the slower taper and it won't be an issue...
Best wishes,
Beth
If you have prayers to spare in this terrible week with so many sick cats, please say a little one for Lucy. This time she relapsed at 7.5 mg/day of pred. I am more worried that her ibd could be morphing into lymphoma, as that is a pretty high dose. But maybe I just tapered her too quickly. I am back up to 10 a day and will taper more slowly, but am worried my vet will not refill as he thinks that is too much pred and that she should get a scope if she needs that much. Though I don't see the point, since even if she has lymphoma they would put her on that much pred anyway, and if the pred stops working they use leukeran with both lymphoma and severe ibd, so what is the point of the 3 hours of driving and invasive probes. But I will have to see, because if my local vet will not keep prescribing the pred when she needs it, I may have no choice.
Michelle
