Hi Sweetie,
I'm sorry to hear Lucy is so uncomfortable. Gypsy has been acting a
little off the last few days too. I'm so lucky that she doesn't seem to
tire of her turkey mush. I know that if I were to take to my bed she'd
be in big trouble. She still needs me to pet her when she eats. If
Gypsy eats /anything/ other than her mush, she becomes symptomatic
again. Did I read that you gave her reglan and it helped? That's one
of the things I reach for when she's doing that hunched back, my tummy
doesn't feel good, kind of thing. Usually one dose is enough to help
her, this last bout of not feeling great has been dragging on for her
though. I can tell she still doesn't feel her normal 85%. Your
supposition about her bowel cycle sounds right to me too, maybe it also
has to do with excess gas from the diet change. Have you tried to
reintroduce the mush, (or whatever she's been doing well on that she
decided not to eat when she started having her tummy aches), earlier in
the day when she's feeling better?

She was down to every other day at 1.25 mg, in the morning. I started
giving it to her twice a day, same dose, starting last night.
My guess is that it has to do with her digestion cycle. She has only
been moving her bowels at night, and maybe the food hits her colon
around this time and she gets spasms or something. I can't figure out
any other explanation. her ibd symptoms were under control.

Marie was pretty consistently miserable. It was obvious that her
tummy hurt a lot. And she was leaking watery/bloody feces.
(Didn't even look like feces. Very scary.) Any chance that the
pred is affecting the timing of Lucy's discomfort?
