I think I'm losing my mind. I don't recall if I took a fecal sample to the vet on Aug. 28th. ??? I must have... otherwise they wouldn't have diagnosed the C. Perf. I'm 79 yrs. old and have health problem. Hope I'm not getting dementia!! My partner says it's just stress. I've been...

Missed this comment. Thanks

Jengo does tend to be a nervous kitty. He hates going to the vet and hides if he sees me get his carrier out. I have to be sly about it but as soon as I pick him up to put him in it he whines. He didn't fight the vet when she took his blood pressure. Her assistant was also gently holding...

Thanks for sharing. Wow... diarrhea for over a year! Poor old guy went thru a lot! Glad that he is improving. My Jengo hasn't had worms or anything else, just tested positive for C. Perfringens. Still waiting for results from the thyroid test done on Aug. 28th! Over 2 weeks now! If he...

Thanks for the link. Never heard of this site. More reading for this afternoon.

This is why I get so frustrated with vets... they don't seem to want to try anything that they didn't learn in vet school. There are so many new products being developed... certainly they can't all be hoaxes. He said that his in-house test is or the same bacteria as the AnimalBiomme. I'm...

I hope there was no damage from the Pimobendan. I worry about all medications because of his kidneys. I checked for Antinol Plus on Chewy and it was discontinued. Never heard of this one before... will check eBay. I forgot to mention that Jengo was on Adequan for about 2 months but I didn't...

He is on Proviable and Jarrow S. Bouldarii MOS... similar to what you gave your guy.

He was on Vetmedin (Pimobendan) for one month. Then the vet did an ultrasound and decided that he didn't need that med. I was upset because I figured that she should have done the ultrasound before putting on that med. All meds have side effects so I wonder what damage it could have done. My...

He still enjoys his canned Fancy Feast in spite of buying many cans of premium canned food and trying prescription diet. I didn't want him to go thru a biopsy at his age so the vet is treating him for IBD. Several people have mentioned that I should discuss this further with his vet, but the...

Yeah, I'd like to talk to my vet... have a list of question for him... but he is so hard to contact. :-( What is concerned a severe case of IBD??? Are you saying that is what caused the chronic diarrhea??? Jengo has always been a fussy eater so I let him eat what he likes for several meal...

He had another off day... slept a lot. From what I've been reading lately, being on antibiotics for a long time can really mess up the gut. He has been having formed but soft stools since we ran out of Metron... only a couple really watery. I'm hoping that things are settling down and giving...

I am stressed out trying to save him and keep his health problems from getting worse. I'd keep him around for a while longer... he's the coolest, smartest cat I've ever had. I've grown super close to him from being his nurse for a couple of years. He still cuddles, sits on my lap and head...

I also order most of Jengo's meds through Chewy, but the first round of Metronidazole was from the vet clinic. It's a 110 mile round trip to pick up more so I ask him to tell me how many pills and the mg for this round so I could order from Chewy. I made the mistake of questioning the strength...

Thanks for your comments. You are right... I'm getting the same impression... that the vet has pretty much written him off because of all his health problems. I get more positive info from online cat forums. He doesn't say anything about how bad things are, but when he was on vacation the...

I think the reason the vet wants to give him Metronidazole again is because I messed up the dosage schedule. I started out giving him 2 a day as instructed but since I had to space them out because of a possible drug interaction, I ended up only giving it only once a day. I didn't catch me...

I can't help it... it's my personality. :-( I've always been disorganized and a procrastinator so I have to take much of the blame. I'll be 80 in Jan. and I don't think I can change now. I just get so frustrated with my vet... he's very slow at answering. I know that he is very busy, but...

The vet responded to my email yesterday and said that we have to give Jengo around round of Metronidazole. I asked him 3 questions and he only answered one. It's so frustrating when the vet doesn't take the time to answer and I have to ask again. Wish I could find another vet but there is a...

Still it makes me nervous that he has soft stools in between almost normal ones. I'm so afraid the diarrhea will start up again now that he has had the last Metronidazole... especially since I messed up and wasn't giving it twice a day. :-( Guess I'll find out in the next couple of days. I...

Thanks for your comments. Don't think Jengo had access to any contaminated food or water. Since he's an indoor only cat, I often wonder if we could be tracking something in on our shoes... like animal feces... ie squirrel, chipmunk, etc. I put dates on open cans of food that I refrigerate so...
