Thank you to everyone for your replies. My cat passed away tonight. Whatever it was that he’s been fighting for months finally got to him and it was very quick. Now I only have my one little piggy cat who I don’t feel the need to spy on right now. Hopefully she will remain healthy for a long...

My cat passed away tonight. I rushed him to the emergency vet and they confirmed he was in the process of dying. Thankfully I was able to make it slightly less agonizing and scary for him. I’m not sure what caused him to crash so quickly, but I’m not going to spend too much time worrying about...

There vet called and the blood work they ran yesterday looked good, so I got the go ahead to continue with the current dosage of Prednisolone. Well I came home from work today and he had thrown up a bunch and was hiding under a chair, drooling. Not a good sign. He seems very weak. He’s...

Oh, now that I think about it, battery powered/rechargeable is probably the best bet for me based on where I want to put it.

I know how you feel, but you shouldn’t feel guilty about not knowing that IBD could lead to lymphoma. Why would you know that, right? I didn’t know it either, not even after speaking with my regular vet about my cat’s possible diagnosis. It was more like “it’s probably one of the other” not “one...

I just made a post in the Cat Behavior section to get recommendations for cameras to see what others are using. I want cheap, night vision, and something that doesn’t require a subscription. I plan to buy something this weekend. If I had cameras all over the place I’d probably get nothing done...

Does anyone use cameras to monitor their cat when you’re not home or when you’re asleep? I’m planning to set a camera up near my cats’ food to monitor their food intake. I have one cat who is sick and needs to eat more and gain weight. My other cat is healthy and will eat almost anything and...

Haha, yesterday I found myself thinking about getting a camera for the food. I felt maybe that was a bit overboard but you’ve made me feel less insane.

Thank you! This makes me feel a little better. I’ve seen vague statements online that basically say your cat’s gut didn’t get like this overnight, so why expect a medication to fix it overnight. I’m holding out hope that I’ll see some more improvement over the next week. My cat was the same -...

My cat started on 7 mg of Prednisolone per day (5 mg in Am, 2.5 mg in evening) for IBD 3 weeks ago. I've seen some improvement, but not a night and day difference. The vet seems to think we should see a more dramatic improvement by now. I'm curious to know how long your cat was on the 10 mg/day...

I guess I figured prednisolone would take a little time to work and that the improvement (if any) would be gradual. Especially with how inflamed his intestines might be after dealing with this for so long. I didn't expect immediate results, but maybe I should have. I've searched all over online...

My cat has been on since late August 2022. Due to something that may be going on with one of his kidneys, I generally only give it about every 3 days, sometimes slightly longer inbetween if his appetite seems ok and sometimes every other day if his appetite seems to be in a slump. He gets the...

Hi everyone. I'm going to make a much longer, more detailed thread about the saga that has been my cat's health over the past 6 months, but for now I'm really just looking for some feedback specific to one issue. I've used the search function to look at previous threads and posts related to IBD...

My cat is being treated for presumed IBD. Well, the vet is careful how he words it, but we're approaching it like there's a good chance it's IBD. He's been suffering from diarrhea since August 2022. I'm looking to try s. boulardii asap. I'm interested to know if this product you use comes in...
