MORE PRAYERS NEEDED. Jasper, bloody liquid diarrhea.

I hope the vet can get to the bottom of this all soon!!

tee hee.

Well, I added some powdered metamucil (fiber) to his food tonight. And the pred (steroid) must be working on his appetite, because he ate it all. The fiber will not fix his underlying problem, but it might help to firm him up. *fingers crossed*

Oh Jen, How did I miss this up til now? I'm so sorry to hear this about your handsome boy. Many prayers for you and him coming your way.

Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that Jasper isn't improving. How long has he been on the pred? I know it took Starr at least several days to show an improvement but he started out on higher doseage and he was also on a food for allergies.
I also noticed that when Starr would eat wet food that his diarrhea would become worse. My vet said it's because his colon couldn't absorb the liquid like it should so I kept Starr on dry food only until he started his herbal supplements. I sure hope that it isn't cancer and that Jasper will start feeling well again soon. He continues to remain in my thoughts and prayers.
