Hi Michelle,
You know my prayers and thoughts are always with you and Lucy. We've
talked about this so many times... Her symptoms are so much like
Gypsy's (the way she bounces back from flare ups and then has problems
again), my intuition is telling me that she has a wicked case of IBD
It's possible that she is constipated, especially if it's happened
before it may be a concern. The only bad thing with pred is if there
is any suspicion at all that there may be lymphoma, the longer they are
on pred the harder lymphoma may be to detect and if chemo is an option
you want to
actually, more recent studies have shown that this is true for dogs but not
for cats. However, you are right that it would make it harder to
detect.
