Giardia negative

Janine's giardia test was negative. Dr. Kahn, in consultation with Dr. Sarah Lien, decided to have her go to 10 mg Pred every other day (instead of 5 every day) and reduce the Azathioprine to every other day as well. So I started that yesterday by giving another 5 of Pred at night and then skipping the Imuran, then giving that this morning. (I had to write it down to keep straight which day is which.) Fingers and paws crossed that her platelets don't drop with the reduced Imuran.

And time to try another food as she is still loose on Kirkland. I think we will try Canidae again now that the giardia is gone and see how she does.
