Jasper, diarrhea, an odd update 9-28-08

[jenluckenbach]

Catching up with Jasper's story. As of Sept 6th, the diarrhea was back, on and off. By the 13th I gave up on the cyclosporine and restarted him on the pred. It took 3 days of 5mg of the pred to stop the problem pooping.

for now, we are just going to continue the dose of 1 full 5mg pill per day (since 1/2 a pill was ineffective last time).

I know pred (a steroid) isn't always the best choice but hey, if it works!!! My Amber had daily pred for YEARS before her teeth needed to come out (stomatitis cat #1) and she never had any bad after effcts.

So, Jasper is doing well, for now, with the help of the pred.
