Sherry,
IBD can be treated with a change in diet. Elimination of all dry food &
switch to an IBD diet --------- in my Paddy's case it's Royal Canin's
Duck & Green Pea or Venison & Green Pea. Paddy was also on prednisolone
for quite a while but he's ok now. Still eats that food & is on a low
maintenance dose of the predniosolone primarily for lumbarsacral
arthritis. He's 22.
An intestinal cancer could be detected perhaps by ultrasound &/or xray.
Can she feel anything?: Some vets are able to palpate to feel thickened
intestinal walls which is indicative of both IBD & GI lymphoma.
What you have so far is not a sufficient diagnosis to be making any
decisions. You need the vet to be more specific. Yes, it is hard to
diagnose IBD & lymphoma but I would not give up on them at all at this
point without further diagnostic work.
