Lol RUNNY not funny. Autocorrect! [emoji]128529[/emoji]
As far as the pred and IBD, I did not put my girl on it so I can't answer that one, I know that some use it temporarily then wean off if possible, some are kept on it if they do not do well without it too.
Yep, Zed Xyzed is right, we mean human baby food without garlic of onions. Good luck zellie1021 I hope you'e able to figure out whats going on with you kitty!
So an update, I took Tiberius back to the vet today to culture his entire body for ringworm. I'm crossing my fingers its not, but I'm really not sure what else it could be? He doesn't have fleas, so I know it's not a reaction to that. The lesions have already been cultured and they're not a bacterial infection. I would think food allergy except he's not itchy or grooming excessively? I don't have him on any topical's like Revolution because he is allergic (he has a huge bald spot on his shoulder blades from a reaction). Anyone have any suggestions with what else could be going on?
Overall, he seems to be doing better aside from the skin issues. He is off the Albon, and is down to 1/2 a pill of Pred once a day and a probiotic mixed into his food. He hasn't vomited in a couple weeks, and he's had solid stools all weekend. He is still rather pot bellied, but I feel like he's starting to gain a little weight around his spine too.
I'm wondering, do cats with IBD need to be on steroids indefinitely? Or once it becomes controlled can they be weaned off?
Sounds like herpesvirus.Yes mazie thank you, you're so right.
I think he may be getting an eye infection now. I woke up this morning and one of his eyes was kind of red and they were both goopy. He's been off and on sneezing since I've gotten him but he's had no other symptoms until now so we just let it go.
I really don't want to take him back to the vet until I have his ringworm results so the longest it'll be is until the 29th. Is that to long? Do you think they might give me eye drops without an appointment?
