Re: Please send good vibes to Lucy
Arrggh. From personal experience with IBD symptoms I know how frustrating it can be. I wonder if it was the couple of crunchies of EVO. That would be enough for Gypsy. I keep trying to offer her something other than her turkey mush foolishly hoping that some day she might be able to eat like a regular kitty again. The tinniest amount of canned cat food, bite of table scraps, or even plan cooked turkey will change the consistency of her bowels. We seem to have found help with the homeopathic Bry. When she relapses, giving her a dose and making sure she gets only her mush, will set her straight now. You mentioned working with homeopathics, have you found the one that works for her?

She used to be able to tolerate it well, until her relapse in July, and I was worried she was not getting enough vitamins because she had stopped wanting the organ portion of her raw food, even mixed in. I don't know if that did it, but it was at the same time as I lowered her pred, so maybe the combo. Or maybe neither-- when she relapsed in July, I had no explanation of what could have done it.

Good vibes and prayers for both you and Lucy. Is the tapering of the Pred the only thing that you can point to that caused her relapse? She relapsed at 2.5mg, or she was doing fine until you tried lowering it still further? Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Lucy was doing great recovering from her last IBD relapse, and I had just tapered down to 2.5 mg/day (started at 12.5 and reduced by 1.25 per week). And then she relapsed again. Liquid diarrhea and little interest in food. Otherwise she is acting fine this time, knock on wood. I put her back up to 10 mg/day of pred and am giving her some homeopathic remedies. Please send her prayers, good thoughts, etc. Her ibd definitely seems to be worsening, with more relapses that take longer to get better. I always worry a bit that it is lymphoma, given her FeLV, though I am now getting used to the up and down of ibd so am more concerned/depressed than panicked. Thanks, Michelle
