    I know certain breeds are higher because of known congenital illness associated with certain breeds. Best to contact the carrier. It is however better to carry insurance prior to existing condition. Many insurance also may not insure older senior kitties. Kitty medical cost is extremely...

    IBD treatment/diet

    miralax flushes out good bacteria in the gut so we stopped plus it didn’t alleviate rabbity poo. Pumpkin is not a very good fiber imo. It’s effectiveness is very mild. We give cisapride once a day plus egg yolk powder to increase motility. To bulk up the stool, we give psyllium in the am and...

    throwing up food right after eating

    Thank you for your input. I don't think she is scarf n barf as I only give her tsp of food every 15 min and just give 1/2 portion of 2.8 oz food. Somebody mentioned she may have narrowed lower GI due to inflammation. She has IBD and we cannot go through another endoscopy to confirm this. She...

    throwing up food right after eating

    We can't figure out why she is regurgitating food right after she eats. We feed small portions spaced apart. We give her 1 tsp every 30 minutes so we know she doesn't eat too much at once. She doesn't seem nauseous as she is asking for more food after she regurgitates. She even tries to eat...

    Hills Duck vs Rawz duck

    Could this be Lymphoma rather than IBD?

    Hi there, our kitty's GI panel came back but we don't have a lab report to post as our vet is on vacation. She did however send us an email saying her cobalamin is normal but folate is mildly elevated. She did not discuss further as she will touch base next week. Her pancreatic enzyme and EPI...

    Could this be Lymphoma rather than IBD?

    I’m sorry about your cat. Initial biopsy didn’t indicate lymphoma but rather IBD. The vet is concerned because she is losing weight. May I ask what were the symptoms of your cat and how LCL diagnoses was made.

    Could this be Lymphoma rather than IBD?

    Shes is on Visbiome but it seems like shes regurgitating food when added to food. We also have Proviable but that made her constipation worse. Will need to inquire Vit B12 when the GI panel results come in. Thank you
