Re: Bailey Update - pathologist report

Yes. Combo shots of dex and depo.  Depo is long-term and sort of instead of pred, can last about a month. I am not sure I would even ask about Depo though at this point.  If he is improving on low doses of pred I think I would try the higher doses. The thing about Depo is that it stays in the system so long, if there is a bad reaction of any sort there is nothing you can do until it plays itself out.  There are not usually any bad reactions short-term (a few months, 6 months, whatever) but longer term it can cause diabetes, etc.  If bailey has the potential to be here longer, I would try the pred for now. I would try dex before depo because, while initially much stronger, it is out of the system in 24 hours.
