All Carleigh was on was pred and Imuran (an anti-rejection med). I don't know how it compares to Leflumonide. Her's is focal. ... -- Donnette Cowgill Pros &...
I'm debating taking Bailey in for an exam. The other day when we rushed in for that Leflunomide blood draw Dr. Sisson wanted, they said he had a slight fever,...
The info was great. Thank you so much. Yep, I will tough it out! :) Jackie ... lookout ... they know ... like ... drugs are ... intestine) like ... be run by...
And, no, I don't believe a slight fever is OK. With an immune compromised dog, vigilence in running down the reasons for something like that and treating it...
Hi Jackie, Did they tell you what Bailey's temp was? My Bruce was also recently lethargic and not interested in food. I took him into the e-vet because I...
Bruce is my 2 year old greyhound with GME. He's been on leflunomide and pred for 6 months. He was doing so well, but maybe just because of the steroids?...
You're going to see the best and you'll get straight answers from him, that's for sure. There's always room for hope, though, in most situations. Miracles...
Thank you for your response, Jackie. I am not sure that there is one set protocol, but Dr. Sisson has been treating Bruce for the past 6 months, and he put...
Jill, Jackie and Cathy, This seems so weird because I too have an autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. It seems weird that our dogs...
Bailey got his first of the four Cytarabine shots this afternoon - lucky me, the vet did it and I now have the morning one. Yuck. Anyway, it's a higher dose...
From: alvinjb2001 ... Kisa *always* got punky on the cytarabine. It would start a few hours after the first shot and last until maybe three or four days after...
I'm still a newbie around here... but I just met with Dr. Sisson last week to talk to him about my lil friend Patty. He is pretty confident he can get a LARGE...
Thanks Kathy. It helps knowing someone else experienced the same reaction. My first thought was, did my vet get the dose right? I'm not sure who this is...
That is weird! And thank you for all the encouraging comments about their experiences with RA. I am completely confident that I will find the right drug and...
Hi Jackie, It could be the cytarabine increase, it could also be the clavamox, or it could be a combo. It's kinda normal to get a droopy reaction from any or...
Good luck with Bruce and Dr. Sisson today. Let us know how it goes. I am interested to hear if there is a set protocol. It's seems to vary currently... but...
Please keep us posted. Fingers and paws crossed. Penny L. Wilson "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." -...
Hello Friends: I made the decision yesterday to have Chip put down. He is not responding to anything any more, except for food. He sleeps all the time, even...

Oh, Lori, I'm so very, very sorry. When I first joined this group, Chip was one story I read first and so hoped things would turn around for him and you. I...
Lori,  I'm so sorry it's reached this point with Chip. We know how much you've done for him with the hopes it would turn around. You are now being the best...
Lori, I'm so sorry that its come to this. I had so hoped that Chip would turn around. My thoughts are with you and Chip and I hope that he finds the peace he...
Lori, I'm also heartbroken for you and Chip and proud that you knew when it was time to let him move on to his next place in the universe, where everyone you...
We met with Dr. Sisson yesterday. He said that Bruce is definitely relapsing, that the pred will put Bruce into remission, but the leflunomide is not keeping...
Lori - I am so sorry you are losing your little Chip. In time may only happy memories remain. You did your very best for him. ... No virus found in this...
Lori- My thoughts go out to you right now. You did everything you could for your lil friend and I'm sure he appreciates that more than you could ever know. I'm...
Lori, My heart is breaking for you. We had to put our older guy down a few weeks ago. He suffered from canine dementia. As you said, he was gone a long time...
Are you having to make the decision as to what to do? I can only guess and it's probably a very stupid guess on my part why protocols might be different from...
Yesterday afternoon I held Chip in my arms as the doctor gave him the injection. Chip sneezed a couple of times and then was gone. I don't know what the...
