2hounds Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Can hounds get Systemic Lupus? If so, have they tested her for that? Can they give a hound Cyclosporine(surpresses the immune system) Just curious...sounds like she's feeling a lot like me and my Systemic Lupus! Sending my prayers for your sweet blue girlie! Suzie, Lupus was one of the things mentioned. We are still working with the same specialist who saw her when she was Very Very sick in June and she was even mentioning the possibility of this happening back then and Lupus came up then as well. Basically what the vet said was despite the name we give it, the treatment is going to be the same, so she didn't recommend doing all of the testing to find out if it is lupus or some other name. I can ask about the Cyclosporine once we have the final test results back, we went ahead and started Mia on azathroprine, which from the tiny bit of research I have had time to do is an immunomodulator (non steroid). The plan is to take her completely off of the prednisone once the azathroprine is at the right level in her system.

tbhounds Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I had my IBD dog on Azathioprine at one point and he tolerated it very well. The drug was actually recommended to me by Dr Couto. Hugs to you and your houndie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2hounds Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) 9.6.07 update Thanks for checking in on my Meemers, she has perked up amazingly today. The specialist told us the new medication would take up to 2 weeks to reach full potency, but even Cynthia remarked today that Mia is brighter and bouncier than she has been ALL SUMMER!! She is on 20mg Pred twice/day until the new meds are up to full potency so the potty accidents have begun again, you have about a 10 second window to get her outside once she tells you it is time, but that is ok because I have a steam cleaner and I know how to use it!
