Guest lovemyhounds Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Sending prayers for Conner. When our Callie had liver issues she was put on Ursodiol that we had to purchase at a compounding pharmacy. I believe the medication was helpful. I haven't heard of Imuran but hope it works well.

greyhead Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 We're using budesonide, another immunosuppressant, on Spencer's IBD. It has fewer side effects than either pred or imuran, as I understand it -- mainly some fur loss on his feet and occasional moderate panting. Spencer also still has flares but they are not at all severe. And he isn't losing weight on budesonide the way he was on pred. So I can't tell you anything about imuran except that my vet finds it scary, and you might ask your vet about budesonide instead. But if they know what type of inflammatory cell(s) Conner has, it may be that imuran is more appropriate. Can't remember now whether Conner had a biopsy? I've resisted it with Spencer, but his new internist told me something new to me, which is that a biopsy of the intestines can be done by ultrasound-guided needle aspiration! It'll probably be $$, but at least it will be minimally invasive. Spencer sends puppy kisses to you both! Keep us posted, okay?

Guest koolaidnconner Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Today he seems to be a little better, I got him to eat his breakfast and he is getting outside to the bathroom, still diaherra but at least he can hold it a bit till he gets outside. He is still pretty down and out as in sleeping more than usual and not to eager to get up. Not himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest koolaidnconner Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Well today Conner actually ate a little of his breakfast by himself with no enticing. He still has diaherra but seems a little more upbeat today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
