Re: Worried about Lucy

Kerry,    Did Inky ever have a relapse where you gave extra pred but it did not kick in during the first few days? Lucy has been on 12.5 mg/day for 3 days now but is still having liquid stool (though she had one semi-solid stool yesterday, and at least her stools are far apart and not frequent). In the fall, her stools firmed up after the first day on 10 mg.  I think something new is going on. Michelle   In a message dated 7/3/2006 9:16:30 A.M.

Anyway, I am glad to hear that she is eating some now...and hope it is just the IBD.. Our thoughts are with you two.. Kerry and Bandy
