hi Michelle,
   
  I am sorry to hear Lucy isn't doing so well right now..Inky has had some 
really bad bouts lately, too..I would, like Nina, suggested stay with the raw 
diet or mush..Inky is still on 10mg of pred now as his vet said to keep him 
there if it is working..So maybe you just need to up Lucy's pred some more 
until the symptoms pass.  I know the larger dose has always worked for Inky 
when he has had really bad bouts of this..I use pepcid transdermal daily for 
him...but I do have reglan, too..It makes him too sleepy so I don't give him 
but 1cc which is equal to 1mg at a time when I have to.  
  It seems to me when there is a big flare up that they are probably having 
some really bad pain in the stomach or intestines same as we do when we have 
the flu or something..And if you can get the inflammation under control, I 
think it helps them..It seems to Inky anyway..
  I think it just makes him feel better..
  After Inky's recent bouts, I am only feeding him almost all raw turkey and 
some grilled chicken..He gets his meds in tsp of fancy feast twice a day and 
this isn't causing him a problem..He is also eating sensitve stomach and i/d 
dry foods without any problems..so go figure that one..Who knows, but as long 
as it works for him guess I will let him eat it..
  I do hope Lucy feels better real soon...Keep us posted..
  Kerry, Angel Bandy and Inky
