Hi Everyone - Hope you had a good holiday - we did and we're glad to get back into the swing of things. Thought I'd write with an update on Marnie. She is...

It SUCKS BAD!!!!! Abby is a beautiful dog. I'll get you a photo of Angus when I can. He had a good weekend, no signs of pain or depression. So that's good....
Abby peed alot on pred period. She had a relapse in October that we could not control with pred. Her liver enzemes went through the roof and have stayed...
Yeah I know it's a very powerful drug!! He also goes by the door. How long did it take for you to see an improvement in Abby when she was on prednizone? I'm...
Hi Trisha and all - How is Abby doing - I've been thinking of her. Didn't you say that her joints had swollen again? We are doing OK. Marnie is still on...
YES! Abby was on pred (70 mg for an 80 lbs dog) and needed to go out evey 1-2 hours. She tried to wake us up at night but would go 2-3 times on the rug by...
Our German Shepherd "Angus" was diagnosed with IMP 3 weeks ago. He's still on the Prednizone (sp?) 2 pills every other day. He just had a joint tap last...
I cannot remember if Moses experienced side effects with Immuran. He did have regular blood work. The thing about Moses' IMPA was that it never really...
Any side effects from the Immuran, besides watching the liver? Both Abby and I are starting the Moducare ... "My goal in life is to be as good of a person as ...
Moses did alot better on Immuran than on Prednisone. Moses, too, took Moducare. I lost Moses in November of 2004 at the age of ten years three months but not...
Azathioprine is on our treatment plan for Marnie too in the event that Prednisone didn't work and so far we are doing OK with the pred. I think Lisa Allen's...
Following intuition is always good! Abby had a reoccurrance 2 weeks ago, we tried to up Pred to 40 mg - didn't work. Went to 70 mg and gave it a week - not...
I received a brochure for these dog leggs in the mail from my vet today - she thought they might help Marnie with her sore elbows (In addition to the IMPA, she...
I asked the same thing to my vet...answer is maybe...not sure. Since so little is known about the disease, she has little knowledge to share. We're learning...
DO you use it? The products I'm using right now are supportive of her immune system (collustrum, melotonin and ...I'm missing one). I also use Joint Health...
Sorry to hear that Trisha. I'm sure the prednisone will help. I don't know enough about IMPA yet but do you think another type of infection caused her immune...
Looks like it's back. Abby's hocks and knees turned in small golf balls between Saturday and Sunday. A visit to the vet got us back on predisone. As we know...
I belong to the BMDCSEW, BREEDER-L, the BMDCMembersList, Natural Berners, yada yada yada..............I am involved with several lists and select my reading...
Thanks Kay. It's nice to have a forum to learn about this disease and others and it's nice to receive kind words like yours - they help. :-) Are you a member...
Hi Lisa - Thanks for all of the info that you provided - it is helpful. I've read quite of few of your posts from the berner-l archives as well. From what I...
Lori... Your story is a sad one and quite frustrating. I am sure the vets are learning as well as the rest of us as they treat these animals. They do not...
Moses did better on Immuran than on Prednisone. IMPA is really somewhat of a "bear' to diagnose. Moses stayed at my regular DVM's for several days, coming...
Seems like pred is the first line of attaching IMPA. Abby got the worst flatulance after her first week on it. To the point that I though she had to be...
Hi Everyone – Trisha Young introduced me to this group and I wanted to take just a minute to introduce myself and my Berner, Marnie. To keep it short. . . ...
Abby had a suspicious lump removed off her butt in October. She never fully recovered her zest and remained lethargic for about 2 weeks. She typically...
As an introduction to the group I wish to say that I have been in Berners for about 15 years. I have participated in the conformation ring for most of the...
Just a quick introduction; my fourth Berner, Moses, suffered from IMPA starting in 2001; several relatives also experienced immune mediated disease. Dr....
