Oh, not at all Lilah- an alarmist, I mean. her vet and I discussed her issues last week, and we purposely started with the priolosec. I have Crohns disease, and her vet has IBD. We discussed for 20 minutes just how much crap we went through before finding a regimen that worked. I see and know what's going on, and It sucks so badly that I know, but I can't help her. I've also had blood in my stools, so I know exactly what black means. I also know that it can be the smallest of cuts sometimes, or an irritation, so I usually don't sound the alarm unless it's more than 2 in a 24 hour period. I believe Chewie has something called bilious vomiting syndrome. Her vet is certain, but we also have plans in case the prilosec isn't helping. I know from experience that I do need to give it time to work, it's just hard watching her suffer.
