Definitely discuss with your vet getting started on a good probiotic and digestive enzyme supplement. These are key supplements in cats with digestive issues. I give these to my girls who are 15 and 18 daily. My 15 year old has IBD and pancreatitis. I use NaturVet digestive enzymes with pre...

Vets can be incredibly frustrating. We switched a few years ago after Samba was diagnosed with pancreatitis. The vet we used back then attempted to talk us into euthanizing her! She still has plenty of good quality life in her, and I know that with the proper diet and treatment cats can live...

Wow, thanks for the advice on the price, babiesmom5! Sometimes I forget there are still brick and mortar stores out there!

The advice from my vet regarding probiotics is actually opposite of what your vet had to say. She told me that pet probiotics are often too weak, and this is why she recommended the VSL#3. Who knows though? There is so much conflicting information regarding cat health. I've definitely read...

My younger girl, Samba, has IBD and pancreatitis. She is 15, and we've been dealing with the pancreas flare ups for at least three years now. She was officially diagnosed with IBD in February after having an intense flare up and getting an ultrasound. We were always able to control the flare...

She's a beauty. I hope she gets better. I would ask the vet if maybe her current condition wasn't caused by the crash, but maybe rather the crash and meow was the result of internal pain from some other issue that just crept up on her and made her lose control. One of my cats let out a loud...

Jeez, that did that to you? I'm not familiar with that one, but good for you doing the whole guinea pig thing. Wouldn't want my cats feeling that way! I tried the CBD Pet I give my girls and it didn't have any effect on me. Seems to be working well for them though. My younger one, Samba...

I use VSL #3 as well. Just mix it in with their food. The vet recommended it for Samba who has chronic pancreatitis and IBD, but I give it to my other girl, Kia, as well. I break open one tablet and mix the powder between both of their meals. It's pricy but seems to be working well for them...

I've been using one called CBD Pet on my two cats, ages 15 and 18, for about two months now. It is Co2 Extracted and third party tested. My vet recommended I give it a shot. Both have arthritis, and the younger of the two has IBD and pancreatitis and has had a very rough year. I give them...

Has he been tested for pancreatitis? My 15 year old girl, Samba, has been battling it for about three years now. It can definitely affect their appetite. She gets very picky with her food when she is having a bout of it and sometimes refuses to eat. I hate force feeding her, but I've had to...

Your neighbors seem to be the only vicious animals involved in all of this. I hope Pagan heals nice and quick and isn't too traumatized from the experience.

The probiotic I give is a human grade probiotic called VSL #3. It ain't cheap, but it's easy to find. It's a powder in a capsule. I break the capsule open and mix half of one into each of their wet food. I also give them plain goat milk kefir a few times a week which is very high in...

Samba was getting these tremors periodically for at least two months I would say. Her first bout of antibiotics were not successful and so she was put on a stronger antibiotic for another few days. I made sure she was getting plenty probiotics while she was on this, but I still get very...

Samba, our fifteen year old little girl, was experiencing very slight tremors shortly after getting her first UTI, usually while was relaxed on the couch or bed. She has had so many other health issues over the past year and has been to the vet so many times since January that they know who I...
