Inflammatory Bowel Disease

I wake at 7:45 am and for me, this would definitely be considered “sleeping in”. And not only did I “sleep in” I also slept through the night, a rare and beautiful thing for a person with an ill pet.

Yesterday Willi’s test result came back and not a moment too soon. Just as I thought things were going better he had yet another attack yesterday morning. When Willi’s vet called around 10:00 am I was more than ready to hear that the biopsy had given us a diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

All this to say that Willi is finally getting treatment that will likely help him. The treatment involves a steroid that will bring down the inflammation in his bowels in an effort to manage his disease. He seems to be doing very well so far on the drug and having slept the entire night through I am filled with hope that he is finally going to get some relief from the agony he’s been going through…and perhaps we are all going to get some sleep.

And so a new day begins…

Yes it is a good news...if we can say that...but now he will get the proper treatment.
I am also glad for you Mark because not knowing can be very draining.
I would like to wish Willi all the best and a fast recovery....sleep....hmmmmmmmm.
Enjoy the sunshine.
