: Re: Lucy again Thanks. The vet said he will refill for me at least one more time but to try to reduce it as fast as I can without it bothering her. I had put her on 11.25 mg/day and went to 10 mg/day yesterday and today she has blood on her stool and is eating a little less again

Thanks. Yes, I asked for Budesonide, but my local vet has never used it and will not give it to me. If I have to take her to the specialist that is on my list of things to ask for, but she is so god-awful in the car and gets so stressed out by it that I do not want to do the long car trip
