RobinM Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Beau has "severe" IBD. I am on the way to the vet to pick up pred for him. They don't want to overload him with the pred and will giving him 20mg bid. Hopefully that will increase his appetite and bring the inflammation down. IF nothing changes, we will up the dose. I will also pick up the wellness sweet potato and whitefish to be used as his sacficial protein for a while. Hopefully, he will eat that. Wish us luck. We are really going to need it. I just want my Beau feeling better.

Guest Redpack Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Although IBD is a difficult thing, I still think it's way better than cancer. Here's hoping he likes sweet potatoes and trout!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKarma Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I know you must have some relief with the diagnosis of IBD. Hope his healing process has started and he will be eating soon.

Guest K9_Lady Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I will also pick up the wellness sweet potato and whitefish to be used as his sacficial protein for a while. Hopefully, he will eat that. Healing thoughts for Beau and I hope the kibble works for him. It was the one that agreed with my Arco and his tummy issues. After trying 3 different brands of kibble for Amy it is also the one that works the best for her. Hope he likes it and that he feels better very soon!
