CIMDA

Preds down to 15mg am and 10mg pm. My vet says if all goes ok next bt next Monday we'll start to drop the azathioprine as well

Pcv today was 34 so slight increase so we are reducing preds from tomorrow with another blood test on Monday unless she dips then I will rush her down there earlier. There was a slight improvement in her liver values as well. Ideally I would like to reduce the azathioprine but my vet isn't happy to that. So far she's tolerating the atopic quite well.

Ginni weighed 22kg at the start which has dropped to 20.3. I guess that's muscle wastage as her appetite is good in fact she never lost it. I must admit I'm a bit concerned she's over medicated especially now atopica has been added. She's due another blood work up tomorrow. The latest smear show she wasn't really generating red blood cells so there is talk of a bone marrow biopsy which I'm not keen on

Ginni's PCV was 17 on 16th March she started on 25mg prednisalone twice a day and 25mg azathioprine once a day which was increased to 50mg once a day about a week later. we started weanimg the preds and she's now on 25mg am and 10mg pm and this week they added atopica as well as her PCV is slightly dropping and is now 32.5. my worry is she's being over supressed

Hi thank you for the add. Ginni is a 2 1/2 year old English Springer Spaniel who was diagnosed with IMHA on 16th March. Since then she has been on prednisalone and azathioprine. Her pcv is hovering around 33 and we can't get it any higher. The vet has now added cyclosporine. She is also on phenoleptil as she started fitting in December. The fits coincided with her season and the IMHA started when she was diagnosed with a pyo. Am looking for any advice available as I'm at my wits end
