...your posts, which have been so helpful and uplifting. I was wondering if you might be willing to share with me more about your journey with FGESF. An ultrasound found a colonic mass on my cat, and while the doctors jump to assuming cancer, the ultrasound report mentioned FGESF as rare but...
thank u. i really did not think it would be the arthritis to lose her to. she survived major surgery,fgesf,diabetes but she couldnt beat arthritis. i am so glad that i made her life so joyful. she did have the heart of a lion. she could barely walk but she wanted to be with me to the end...
...c them on line but i am always very hesitant to give something for her to ingest. i sometimes wonder if i am being overly cautious. after the FGESF and a very restricted diet, i fear it might cause problems? saw 3 diff vets and the response was "well, she's old" "keep a log" "shes too old for...
Can you say how she is today? My cat had a Subtotal Colectomy a week ago and she is experiencing the same exact thing. The surgeon doesn’t understand why. I just don’t think it will improve. She’s oblivious and sleeps right through it. I’m going though everything you’ve described. I can’t...
my 19 yo was just pronounced cured by her onco on 12/6/22 a long 6 yrs. but she is completely healed. no evidence of fgesf in ultrasound and labs! a miracle
...gets some relief. it could be my imagination but she seems more lively already! today was also her 6 year anniversary for her successful surgery to remove FGESF filld tumor and part of her colon. so we had a BIG day today! has anybody else had experience with Solensia? i would luv some feedback!
...onco suggested it after meds would not control it! it works.!! i have been made aware that cats r often misdiagnosed with IBD when it is really FGESF. one vet contacted me for med records for her study. she is trying to educate. "

have they considered FGESF? did they do a biopsy at any point? my baby was diagnosed 5 yrs ago. the diet is a hypoallergenic only. a yr ago they added Visbiome(probiotic)for diarrhea. it helped a lot. she is 18 now. she eats only novel proteins. right now she like RC PD> her kibble dujour is...
...only med she gets for it is the solensia. i do not give her otc supplements. she can only have "novel" proteins due to a previous diagnosis of FGESF. in dec 2022, her onco advised she was cured and was in excellent health.(shockingly!) right now she is alternating btwn purina duck and tiki...
...into a room and said "i can only tell you it is a Christmas Miracle" i looked at her confused and she informed me that Placide no longer has FGESF! the paper work says "no evidence of colonic mass is noted. resolved urinary bladder and gall bladder debris. resolved left renal...

i think if it was just stress fr going to vet she would not have gotten so many normal test nmbrs. this is a cat that for 5 yrs goes tto hosp for ultrasound and complete work up. her glucose numbers have never been hi. she had just seen the pc(primary care) vet a mo ago and was normal. complete...
my senior cat is an fgesf survivor. and the emphasis is really on food! i was told no chicken,beef,tuna. so it has been my mission to do what the onco says! these days i have found a lot of NOVEL protein foods on the market. and i recently discovered that turkey is considered a novel protein...
...part of her anus. She does have anal sphincter tone and she is physically capable of holding her poop in (during follow up ultrasounds for her FGESF, the vets have noted poop in her bowels, which didn't slide out). Sam is one prednisolone and cyclosporine for her FGESF; vets have not...
