Hi there. I just wanted to thank you for your help with my cat Sola. The Arsenicum Album stopped his diarrhea and i didn't even need to give him the metronitazol his vet prescribed. I'm also giving him the COQ10 twice a day for his mitral valve and hopefully the next echocardiogram will show improvement.

I've emailed in the past in regards to Sola's IBD issues and i've tried the holistic route but it wasn't working so he went on budesonide. He was taking 1ml every day for about 3 months, then i cut him back to .5ml every day for 3 months and now I'm trying to wean him completely off of it since his abdominal ultrasound showed improvement last week. My vet would like him to stay on the budesonide, but I just worry about the long term side effects of steroids. If his IBD seems under control without the budesonide, do you think this is safe to keep him off?

thanks again for all your help!

Lisa
