Kerry,
There is NO danger to using I-R with steroids. The reason the
instructions for I-R say to go off steroids 7 days beforehand is to ensure the
I-R is
fully effective, since steroids can lower immune response. Lucy was on
steroids when she got I-R, and Mike Lees, the vet from Ohio who wrote the
article on
the website about I-R, said he sometimes uses the two in conjunction. There
is no bad interaction between them. Lucy was on 7.5 mg/day of pred when she
got the I-R, and it only took two .25 ml doses of I-R to kick her URI
completely,. and it was mostly gone after the first dose.

Cindy,
Thanks for the info..I think I wish now that I had already used the IR, but
since he is on steroids now, we can't use it..until he has been off them for
at least 7 days..So I don't know what to do about it now, but wait to see the
specialist on Tues..
Anyway, thanks again.
Kerry, Bandy and Inky
