Evening, sorry if not posting in the correct bit still not entirely sure how a forum works!
I've had some really helpful info & advice previously regarding our Mexican hairless & his AI disease. Don't think vet is still quite sure what type of AI he has, poss polyarthritis think vasculitis has been ruled out tho now. He also now has drug induced Cushing. He started on 70mg pred p/day in sept & in the last few wks we have been slowly reducing the dose (he's also still on 200mg atopica daily) we dropped to 7.5mg last w/end but he went downhill again was very lame & depressed so it's gone back up to 15mg p/day & he's improved slightly. Vet is thinking there may poss be a digestive trigger such as leaky gut.. She has said she's had some success with AI cases when trying a hypoallergenic diet (hills z/d) & has suggested we give this ago before adding in another immunosuppressant. I raw feed & am really not keen on trying this but obviously if it helps then I'll give it a go. Have just ordered some kefir to start him on does anyone have any advice re diet helping with AI please.
Many thanks in advance
