for now she's doing well; thank god.
she's eating the low residue a bit at a time, cause she's really hungry. i am giving her the prednisone and the prene-bac gel and so far so good.
we'll just have to wait.
i hope that food allergy test will shed some light on what foods she's allergic too.
i know they do that food allergy tests for humans; so i am guessing it's the same for animals.
again thanks all for your support and advice; and keep the stories coming. |
Food allergy testing for humans is so sensitive that it gives too many false positives as far as I have read. Doing it for animals is generally considered to be a waste of money. An elimination diet needs to be done.
Is there any food she never had any symptoms on?
For Ellie, she has to have fish as her protein source or she goes into the IBD thing...
