    Yes, Mojo has Lymphocytic-Plasmacytic type of IBD.

    The Dr. just said today for the 3rd week, he wants us to give him one prednisone every other day.

    Hopefully he’ll start putting weight back on soon. His normal weight was 16 pounds and he’s currently at 12. He seems to be pooping less and it’s definitely more solid, so his body must be absorbing the food better.

    Question….is it safe to resume normal activities with him yet? Like long walks and running and playing with other dogs?

    We are in Georgia, near Atlanta.

    We went to a VET Clinic that specialized in this stuff (Blue Pearl).
    He said for now to keep him on his same diet.

    His current diet has no grains or potatoe, but his system was already inflamed before we switched to it. I guess we won’t know if his current food works for him until we weed him off the Prednisone and see if the issues return?

    How do you find out what is causing the IBD?

    How long is it safe to remain on Prednisone?

    Also it is OK to give both the 2 antibiotics at the same time? Both Tylan and Metronidazole?

    thanks

    Thanks Susan.

    We were going to try this food from The Honest Kitchen. Do you think this would be good?

    Will talk to vet about Metronidazole and where can I get the Tylan powder from?

    The Vet suggested Royal Canin Allegenic Hydrolized Chicken Diet and that did nothing but make him strain more to go. The Vet doesn’t seem to know what to do with him. What exactly is an “elimination diet”? We actually went to a Vet clinic that specialized in Allergies. We are not “letting this go”…we are trying different things but you have to give each diet change at least a month to see what’s happening.

    Just to add to my first post, the allergy/saliva test showed sensitivities to whitefish, turkey, soy and wheat. The rabbit food we were giving him was Natural Instinct Limited Ingredients Rabbit Formula. Recently we tried taking him off his normal dry food and feeding him canned chicken, with some plain yogurt, canned pumpkin and rice. We were hoping this would firm up his stool, but it’s not working too good. Should we keep him on this chicken, rice, pumkin, yogurt mix for a while?
