I posted in the past about our experience with Zinc's IBD. I had stated that she was effectively cured. She has shown absolutely no symptoms, but I asked for an intestinal biospy be taken during her last surgery. Well, surprisingly for me (but probably not for the vets on this list), the pathology reports came back indicating IBD!
I'm not sure where this leaves us, medically speaking. I am sure my vet has something in mind. Hopefully, pediapred will be enough to keep it in check because Zinc had bad side effects with the long-term use of Imuran (the only medication that seemed to make a difference last time).
Just thought you all would be interested to learn that, despite her seemingly good health, Zinc still has IBD.
