Wrigley's Diagnosis

After what has seemed like forever we finally have an answer to what has been bothering Wrigley for the last few months - Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The vet had suspected this all along but the only way to diagnose this disease is to rule everything else out and then to get a biopsy. This has been the longest and most frustrating process I've ever been through. Even now that we have a diagnosis there is little or no change in Wrigley's condition. She has a new special diet that she seems to hate and refuses to eat and has become wise to our efforts to sneak the medication into her food. So now I am resigned to do my own research in hopes of finding ways to manage Wrigley's disease and to, of course, pray... a lot. The stress of having a toddler, a newborn and a sick dog that won't get better is getting the better of me.

I am very sorry you're going through this hard time. I have been praying for Wrigley since I found out about her lack of eating and I, of course, pray for you. How can I help? I love you very much.
