Hi all - I'm writing for suggestions regarding Marnie. She is 10 years old now and was diagnosed with IMPA last August. She has been doing fairly well until ...
Hi Lori, I think it makes sense to assess each presentation as a unique event, rather than assuming it's a flair up of the IMPA... especially if things have...
Hi Lori, I know with Angus, it took about a month to see any improvement with the pred. He hasn't had another attack for about 6 months. (Keeping fingers...
Thanks Adrienne - I'll keep everyone posted so we can all learn from each experience. Marnie was on 75mg of Prednisone per day in August of 2005 and was down...

Hi David, Thank you for sharing and I'm sooo sorry to hear about your dog. My heart goes out to you. That may be my path one day too, I fear. I'm crying just...
Thanks for the sympathy Jenn, In reflecting on the last year, I have had some thoughts on the whole Veterinary business and animal care . I almost feel that we...
My dog is an old fashioned mutt too, a sweet little girl that we rescued. She was healthy for five years until this (she is now seven)... all the tests sure...
I'm very sorry to hear about your dog. It is sad that the cost of pet health care is so expensive - I think it would change if people refused to pay such high...
Jenn- Sadly, this is the point we were at last week . Temp, no known cause. Blood work showed no white cell elevation , vomititng and couldn't or wouldn't eat....
Thanks for your supportive words. I was up with her last night putting cold packs on her paws and tummy. We also increased her dose of prednisone. She had been...

Hello Jenn, I'm glad you found us but not under the circumstances. That is how we found out Angus had IMPA, he was limping and it got worse and lethargic, one...
Oh David, I am so sorry about Snickers, I feel for you so much!!! I know after putting 2 dogs down in 3 months. Best wishes to you. Adrienne d Boles...
Thank you so much. It's very hard to go thru the normal loss of a long time friend, but when you deal with an almost daily fight to keep them going , it's...
Adrienne, Thanks for your post. I'm curious about how much pred you use for your dog? My dog is 60 lbs and she is usually okay on 15mg daily. Whenever I drop...
Well, Angus is 110 pounds (German Shephard) so he was on 60 mg. But that was a bit too much, so we decreased to 40 mg. then gradually 20mg and so on. I think...
She's a lab-pit mix with the body and fur of a black lab but her face and ears are pit-like. After three consequtive days at the vet for observation and...

Jenn- I feel your frustration and wish there were some remedy at hand. More dosage? Good luck. Dave David Boles High Signs, Inc. 14939 Inverrary Dr. Hou. Tx....
Jenn, It is so typical for this disease. It SUCKS!!! Angus is off to the vet this afternoon. He is limping badly and cannot put any weight on his back left...
Adrienne, how's your dog? Most of the time my dog's temp is fine, but limping to some degree has become a regular thing (often daily, but shifting from leg to ...
Amen to that!!! That's all you can do is play it day by day. Angus is fine, we thought he had relapsed, but the vet (and this is funny) thought he had just...
Apple, my dog, is having a good day today - no limping, no pain (but she's not "normal" and hasn't been since her problems starts... even on the good days, she...
