My cat has had IBD for about a year and eating Royal Canin rabbit protein wet and dry food. She's been on Prednisolone for several months, which initially worked well, but now I'd say she's almost back to where we started in terms of soft stools and diarrhea, although she doesn't often vomit...
...rudimentary our understanding of these illnesses still is.
My baby Cephas is about 16 and is the littermate sister of my cat, Max, who died of IBD->LCL a few years ago (I cannot thank you all enough for your support during that time - it made a world of difference as it was my first time...
...mental health SO much since my 20 year old (Bear) died in 2019. AND, of course, I just had to look at what Google had to say....
Can untreated IBD cause cancer...? 🥺
Because I'm pretty sure Bear's adopted brother, Rocko, who died on me when he was 11 in (I think) 2011 had IBD. And he had...
Never having had a cat with either IBD or SCL, unfortunately I cannot answer your questions, but until someone comes along who might have those answers, I did do a search on "IBD or SCL" and here are the results: Search Results for Query: IBD or SCL It seems many people have cats that may or...
Sigh. This seems to be a common problem lately.
16 yo cat has had IBD for a few years and has been stable. He eats Duck and Pea daily and seems to enjoy it. All of a sudden this week he seems to be nauseated and has no appetite.
Vet gave him fluids, cerenia, and did bloodwork (good). He’s...
This sounds like possible ibd. My cat also had clean bloodwork, clean X-rays, perfect fecal sample, so I requested an ultrasound. And that’s how it was found - early ibd. I’d definitely recommend bringing it up to your vet.
If the vet thinks he has IBD, he should've given you something for indigestion and steroids to reduce inflammation. Those two things will help immensely. What food did the vet recommend? Some of the RX foods for IBD are not all that great, so many IBD kitty owners feed regular food, but nothing...
If only it were that simple to feed a food like Hill's to a cat to take care of both IBD and asthma. I don't mean to sound cynical but, put bluntly, one of our cats has IBD, the other has asthma, and I wouldn't feed these Hill's foods (I looked at the dry food and the "multi-benefit" chicken...
Hi. I don't think there is any concrete evidence that genetics play a role in IBD, but since they can with many afflictions, it probably can't be ruled out. And even if it were genetically induced, there is no guarantee that the treatment plan would match for both cats.
If your current IBD cat...
...for my cat. Poop (Siamese, age 7) has been vomiting constantly for almost three months now. What started as “maybe an ulcer” developed to an IBD diagnosis last Saturday.
I love my vet, but I feel like I’m getting absolutely nowhere. I live in a small (albeit densely populated) town in Texas...
...anti-nausea med such as Ondansetron (Zofran) which works better than Cerenia. Also, you may need an appetite stimulant and if the vet thinks it's IBD, then the normal treatment is a round of steroids for 10 days to help decrease inflammation. Pancreatitis often mimics IBD, so it could be that...
...your post. If he did, it should have shown a low B-12 (cobalamin) level, which is what is usually done to determine malabsorption. Most cats with IBD have a low B-12 level and are then given injections of B-12 to build the level back up. Since any excess B-12 is excreted through urine, It...
My vet is thinking that my cat's frequent vomiting could well be an IBD condition. She suggested a few Hill's Rx foods, but some reviews seem to suggest that many cats don't care for them. Specifically, she suggested GI Biome, low fat I/D, or Purina EN. Problem is, hate to buy a whole case of...
...about 5 months ago. He also had bumps on his legs that turned out to be an allergic in nature after biopsy. One of the ER vet mentioned possibly IBD with lowered motility, potentially because of a food allergy, so we excluded chicken from his diet about 6 weeks ago. He's also been doing...
Hi all! I've got a cat with runaway diarrhea again. He was doing so well for awhile. He has food-related IBD and once I took him off all poultry, fish, & gums (used in wet food), them started with puddle poop again.
At the same time, his hyperthyroidism was first starting to act up...
Those two anti nausea meds are not necessarily for appetite stimulation. IBD can be a problem of the stomach. Does she vomit very often? Do you think this is really IBD as opposed to a mouth issue?
...has all sorts of issue. Before he was diagnosed with having a mass in the brain, all of the vets i brought him to said his lethargy is due to ibd. So it is hard to say, but probably he has ibd as well as a tumor.
hmmm, maybe the prednisone is also helping with his ibd? Thanks for...
