    IBD in cat treatment

    He's gaining weight well, he actually has a bigger tummy than expected his primordial pouch is massive, enough the vet was confused and said she'd never seen that, he's already 10lbs and we've been monitoring his weight. I'll definitely look into the s.boulardii, our vet is giving us some...

    IBD in cat treatment

    The good news is it's in his lower digestive tract so he doesn't vomit and he doesn't have to go often it's just always runny, but he's also incredibly picky and it took nutritional yeast to get him to eat the rawz, we tried offering raw once and he wanted nothing to do with it, his brother eats...

    Yes, he's had radiographs, an ultra sound, blood work, a fecal panel, ultrasound, and intestinal biopsy, he also had a heartworm test along the way. He also has asthma

    IBD in cat treatment

    I believe that food has peas in it, which we are avoiding due to the studies showing it could block taurine absorption

    He's also going to be on probiotics along with the other medications, it just seems like it's going to be a constant thing, and I am not sure exactly what the best system is, especially with him being so young

    IBD in cat treatment

    We had tried feeding rawz duck and rawz rabbit, but only for four days apiece, which it seems isn't long enough to help if they have IBD? He was just diagnosed today, he's only 6 months old though and my partner and I both work full time so we worry about them not having food during the day, so...

    IBD in cat treatment

    Hello, my cat was recently diagnosed with IBD, and will be put on metrotranzidol, and steroids, but we were told diet could also help to resolve the issue, but we're feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of that, so I was wondering if anyone had food recommendations or things that worked for them...

    Thoughts?

    As someone who has purchased from a breeder I would not expect you to reimburse the cost of the kitten, and doing so may just make it seem as though you were in the wrong, when it doesn't seem like you are, also you said that they came with pet insurance, does the pet insurance cover illness?

    Pancreatitis?

    Her liver values are normal, they did not do an ultrasound but did a barium study, she had pancreatitis and a B12 deficiency but the radiologist doesn't think she has IBD

    Pancreatitis?

    They are doing the Spec fPLI test and I requested the PCR test which the results will come back on soon hopefully, she is deficient in B12 which further confirms pancreatitis, she is still stuck at the vets since her stomach is taking about 8 hours to empty when it should be about an hour and a...

    Pancreatitis?

    They're doing more bloodwork first before getting any biopsies and doing a barium test to get a better look at her intestines tomorrow. Then after that they may get a biopsy but it's currently not on the list.

    Pancreatitis?

    Hello, my cat went into the vet, because she was lethargic and has had diarrhea for a week which neither fortiflora, nor prescription clay she was given helped. She had seen the vet when it started, but there was no improvement. She has thickening of her bowels, and definite inflammation and her...

    Tiki cat dry food

    I like Dr. Elseys clean protein slightly more than tiki dry, but they're very comparable they're both good dry foods.

    Am I feeding my cat enough food?

    It would be helpful to know the types of food and size of pouch as well as weight and activity level of your cat, age is also important. Usually for a bengal who is an adult assuming the ideal weight of your cat is 12lbs, and the pouches are something like weruva slides 2.5-3 pouches seems...
