I'm glad I'm not the only one. We didn't find out about her IBD until recently. The shelter kept insisting that her months-long diarrhea was "stress" and kept telling us to feed her this food or that food and to use pred and whatnot.
Now it's 6 months later, the ultrasound makes it look like...
My thing is that just 6 months ago she was on dry food from the shelter and supposedly doing fine, no meds or anything. I'm just nervous about having her be on pred long-term because of my last cat, who was on it until she died just before turning 6. To be fair, her dose was ramped up to the max...
Thank you for this. It's been a struggle and I've recently been keeping a log of how much food she's been able to eat. Before it was 1oz for a while, then 2-3 oz, which is basically nothing. Fancy Feast was the only food that got her up to 4-4.5 oz unmediated, which to us showed that she just...
Yeah, it's fancy feast turkey and giblets pate. We got it because this all started with the vet thinking she has suddenly developed a chicken allergy right after we adopted her.
After trying a lot of other foods, she just plain wouldn't eat fish-based proteins after a while. She's so picky. We...
Thank you. I'm thinking of agreeing with my husband and keeping her on Fancy Feast. I just don't know what to do because with all of the foods we've tried and failed with over the past 6 months I feel like I'm always making the worst decisions. :(
It's good to hear of other cats that are fine...
Thank you.
I don't understand the push for hydrolyzed. They insist that the food is better because it's formulated specifically for IBD cats, and that they come with a level of quality that no other foods can boast. (Theyve told us a few times that Royal Canin for example, will shut down their...
Thank you so much I will have to look at Dechra. I really want her to be on wet food as she will be losing quite a few teeth soon. A vet tech recommended just buying dry and pouring water on it to make it mushy. Would doing that work with Purina?
My cat was recently diagnosed with IBD, and the vet recommended that we do a Hydrolyzed Protein diet. I have found some diets such as Hills z/d, Purina HA, and Royal Canin. (Blue HF is not available in Canada) Does anyone here know of any other hydrolyzed diets that are available on the market...
