the vet has only suggested pred and dex, I've never heard of diazoxide. I'm giving him carafate 20 minutes before feeding him because he's grinding his teeth which I am assuming is because his tummy is bothering him.
Two questions:
1. Has Diazoxide been tried? (It works using a different mechanism than the steroids)
2. Does he also have a problem with injected steroids or is his problem a stomach ulcer one?
