For ex my vet advised against the testing for now, unless I really wanted to do it. But we have just the skin issue to deal with. We had the diarrhea problem before, but turned out to be pancreatitis and not IBD. Have you guys done bloodwork recently? Maybe that may show something? |
Yeah all bloodwork is clear...
This vet is the second opinion, as I'm adverse to permanently putting him on drugs, which is what my previous vet wanted (in addition to constantly switching foods :S).
It's such a tough call cause I've exhausted all emergency funds, and require medical stuff myself which will require me taking out a HUGE loan (braces for jaw pain). Hopefully I hear some stuff about whether to do the test.
I'm also thinking about asking the vet if we can switch his food again, to a duck version of his food, to see if that helps.
