Kerry, There is NO danger to using I-R with steroids. The reason the instructions for I-R say to go off steroids 7 days beforehand is to ensure the I-R is fully effective, since steroids can lower immune response. Lucy was on steroids when she got I-R, and Mike Lees, the vet from Ohio

I do NOT think you need the temp to go down in order to give the I-R. No, Lucy did not have a temp spike at all from it, nor did Patches, nor did anyone I know other than my Ginger. But I also gave Ginger 1 ml, which is a very high dose. I gave Lucy only .25 ml, which is actually the dose
