    Does anyone know what this mark is?

    Hi Krienze, I can't see it clearly in the pic, but the way you describe it, it reminds me of a former cat of mine that had eosinophilic granuloma. She had red bold lines running along the back of her back legs, and at times it would get itchy and irritated

    Hello! It seems my cat doesn't have pancreatitis, but she does have GI issues I am not sure why, however I managed to get thrive complete from the main site of zooplus.com. So I give her 1/3 of her daily meal from thrive, and the other 2/3 I rotate granatapet or macs. My cat really loves thrive...

    I took her to a different vet! He said we must stop all antibiotics until stomach is healed, and gave her an injection of both antiacid and antiemetic, as well as some subq fluids. And since we returned home I see her being more energetic! I will give her the first spoonful of food in half an...

    help!!! inappetant, vomiting won't stop with vet's injection

    She has pooped since vomits begun. She did have xray too and vets say they don't see anything. I read that the medicine she was injected (tagamet) is an antiacid. Do you think she could need a medicine categorised as antiemetic instead?

    how to tell vomit from diarrhea?

    Thanks a lot for your reply! I guessed it was diarrhea, she also had no apetite. So I took her to the vet who gave her an injection of antidiarrhoic medicine, but when we came back she ate some hills a/d and then puked it :(. Should I not give her any food for some hours?

    Hello! My cat has been having reduced apetite since Thursday night, and today I found what looks like vomit but it is out of her litterbox, so how can I tell if it is vomit or diarrhea? It sure does not smell, it looks like her food mushed, but around it is what looks like pee. She is on...

    cat anorexia and diarrhea

    I did blend the gastro intestinal food with a bit water, but she only had a little, I will try it with her regular food too as I think it is of better quality! Do you think this kind of diarrhea could be also from parasites? Mabe it's more than 3 months since she had her pill.

    Hi FeebysOwner, thanks for your reply! She does hunt and eat little lizards, grasshoppers, baby mice, or a bird if she's lucky. But I don't know if she ate anything on Saturday or what else she could have eaten that she shouldn't have... She drinks water ok and hasn't thrown up. Just is more...

    Worried about friend’s cat

    I read that IBS is different than IBD (Feline Irritable Bowel Syndrome vs Feline Inflammatory Bowel Disease | Ask The Cat Doctor) and it's a bit confusing to me... How do you suspect IBS and not IBD?

    Worried about friend’s cat

    It is though difficult to do a food elimination now, because the cat is so difficult to eat. Do you think cortisone doesn't seem necessary?

    I don't know if vomit is bile. The cat underwent gastroskopy, which showed inflamation in stomach and intestines, and will get results from biopsies in three weeks. In the meantime, she was prescribed cortisone and was told to eath mushed food...
