I too wrote yesterday and assume my message was lost. I apologize if two messages are received.

I am trying to get a copy of Dr. Burgess' IBD/Imuran protocol paper. I know I had it but I think I must have given it to my old vet. It was in the Files section of the Yahoo forum but apparently didn't make it to SmartGroups (or I just can't find it).

I did read some things in the archives and it seems I'm reading that Imuran and Pred shouldn't be given together. Is this correct? Something about the immune system? Chester is on pred for his insulinoma. We are wanting to start him on Imuran for IBD, diagnosed by biopsy.

Also, can anyone explain how hepatitis fits into all of this. He had some white lesions on his liver and pathology says it is hepatitis.
