After doing some thinking and a little research (prompted by my recalling a bout of colitis myself and the meds we used to treat it) I am thinking it is very possible he has colitis from the IBD and that is why he responded so well to the flagyl and pred combo initially. The diagnoses of lymphoma is an added issue but should respond to the pred also at least for awhile. I hope this is helpful.

We are going to try IV steroids tonight to see if that can give him some relief until his leukeran comes in.

If his diarrhea does improve with the dexamethasone iv. Then he can start the leukeran tomorrow. But I think if it does work, we will give him a few days of the dex to start feeling better. So far I don't know. It takes approx 6 hours to start working. I do know he is peeing lots again, so hopefully. If it doesn't work, I am afraid I will be helping him cross to the rainbow bridge tomorrow morning.

I had sunny put to sleep. The hardest decisions I had to ever make. He was still so energetic, but sadly wasting away to nothing. We tried everything to stop his diarrhea. Every antibiotic, prednisone, methadexasone, Imodium, attipulgite, and ever as a last resort pepto bismol. I didn't want him to suffer. I gave him a handful of kibble and all the ferretone he could lick up. Lots of neck scratches and he even got to poop on his favourite corner of the vet office.

Shady, his sister made it really hard yesterday. She circled around his body over and over again. Tried to wake him up. Then she had a temper tantrum and went upstairs and wouldn't come back down the whole day.
