If you have prayers to spare in this terrible week with so many sick
cats, please say a little one for Lucy. This time she relapsed at
7.5 mg/day of pred. I am more worried that her ibd could be
morphing into lymphoma, as that is a pretty high dose. But maybe I
just tapered her too quickly. I am back up to 10 a day and will
taper more slowly, but am worried my vet will not refill as he
thinks that is too much pred and that she should get a scope if she
needs that much. Though I don't see the point, since even if she has
lymphoma they would put her on that much pred anyway, and if the
pred stops working they use leukeran with both lymphoma and severe
ibd, so what is the point of the 3 hours of driving and invasive
probes. But I will have to see, because if my local vet will not
keep prescribing the pred when she needs it, I may have no choice.
