Oh gosh, Jen. No real answers but instead more to worry about. I know that's NOT what you were hoping for when you took him in this morning.

I don't know if it helps or not, but according to my vet, having a continually inflamed colon can lead to other issues, such as cancer and such, so the very minor side effects of a Prednisolone once or twice a week is much better for a cat than an inflamed color. I know a lot of people here are almost afraid of Pred., but if it's administered correctly, and not everyday, it could be a godsend to our sweet Lucas.

{{{hugs}}} to you and gentle smoochies to Lucas. He has to be happy to be back home after spending all day at the vet.
