Read the biopsy report several times. That last sentence that stuck with me, "Definitive interpretation of true idiopathic IBD requires exclusion of recognized parasitic, allergic, and/or infectious causes of intestinal inflammation."
Did you interpret as I did -- biopsy was not definitive, thus a need to exclude "parasitic, allergic, and/or infectious causes."
Is your "bland diet" still the chicken and mashed? Have you tried to re-introduce the salmon? |
KatysMom, that sentence stuck with me as well.
I'm not sure why the internal medicine vet wants to jump straight to steroids if he's been asymptomatic for the 10 days.
The boys were eating chicken and mash for several weeks. We then added peas and carrots, then green beans and now today I cooked their normal diet.
Their normal food consists of chicken, white rice, and pureed veggies (boiled kale, peas, carrots, zucchni, and lima beans).
One thing I noticed, Pilot didn't like the food as much when I added his supplements to then bland food (calcium, etc.).
We do add the calcium to his normal diet as it's necessary to balance out the phosphorus from the meat.
I'm really nervous that he may be sick, even though he doesn't have diarrhea or vomiting.
He usually ate his normal food with no issues in the past.
Perhaps, the chicken and mash diet made him a little picky?
