Tiki started on prednisolone after an ultrasound confirmed diffuse thickening of his small intestine, along with inflammation in his liver and pancreas. We had a liver FNA performed, which found a bunch of abnormal stuff, but no specific cause of the inflammation was determined. We have opted not to get an endoscopy/biopsy of his intestine at this time, so we don't know if he has severe IBD or low grade lymphoma with any certainy.
He started on prednisolone 3 days ago, and today he had some of the worst diarrhea he has had in awhile. Should the prednisolone be helping by now if it's IBD? Or is it still too soon to tell? I should mention that he also started on an antibiotic, along with probiotic, so I assume this could have an impact as well. I just wish he could get some relief Here's hoping he'll turn the corner soon.
