Hi everyone! I am new to this group and looking for support from other doggies who have IBD.

I was diagnosed with IBD in March of this year and so far, with a few bumps along the way, things seem to be okay.

My Mommy gives me prednisone and azathioprine to control the symptoms but recently I had to stop taking the azathioprine. My blood results came back with a high count of liver enzymes due to the azathioprine. Just yesterday after a week and a half of antibiotics and antioxidants, my liver enzymes have come down significantly.

I have not had any symptomatic episodes since March. My usual symptom though was vomiting and an aversion to food. I am a really picky eater - which I learned is common among dogs with IBD.

Anyway, I would like to hear your stories! Please share!
