Rick, the pred and cyclosporine can take a bit of time to start working (but we never used the intravenous cyclosporine), although having said that, with Bingo, the first test after he started the cyclo he did show improvement and then his bloods went up and down a bit until they stabilised. The transfusions are just there to buy time for the meds to start doing their stuff.

Hi Rick
I’m sorry you’ve had to find us, but rest assured, we’ll all do everything we can to be with you through this and to help Brandy.
Your girl is certainly a beauty and I’m glad you didn’t think she was too old to fight for her.
Patrice is brilliant and has given you a lot of information to go through.
The sucralfate/sucralfate helps a lot. As Patrice said, make sure it’s given at least an hour away from meds though as it stops the absorption of the drug.
If you need a medicine chart made up for you, I’d be very happy to do that for you. Let me know if you do want one and I’ll post my email. You do sound as though you’ve been around medicines for a while and sound very capable, but I’d love to help in any way I can.
Love Vally & Bingo
Yummy Sheena. Bingo gets all sorts of dried meats as treat. Dried fish fillets, chicken fillets, chicken necks (his very very favourite), beef straps and kangaroo tendons. Now the kangaroo tendons are the best for his teeth because they take a bit of work to get through. Well my lazy boy has worked out they take a lot of work and will try to bury them in the carpet or in his blanket. The rug takes a lot of work. His poor nose – he just rubs and rubs and rubs and can’t seem to get it buried. He then guards them with his life. If anyone looks his his directions, he runs back to where he’s put it and growls and barks and carries on.
Love Vally & sore nose.
