That is great to hear that he's feeling better and functioning. :yess: If interested in natural and affordable appetite stimulation, try Yucca extract. Helps my FIV cats when they don't want to eat due to nausea or tummy troubles. Yucca is also an anti-inflammatory, a natural pain reliever...

Yes, change in diet could help, especially with novelty proteins (if food is the culprit here)

Totally agree with this. Ever heard of David Teie? He creates music for cats. Sounds a bit strange at first, but the cats LOVE it.

My IBD kitty did this. He was trying to soothe discomfort inside his belly.

Yes there has been some biting when he was younger, but I think it was more in defense - he was a sweet cat by nature. The other cats knew he was sick and started bullying him. Normal behavior.. pushing the sick animal out of the group. That did however come to a halt at some point. Maybe they...

I will try the colloidal silver I have some downstairs which is liquid drops which I gave to Merlin and I was trying to cure his stomach problems but it didn’t seem to have any effect. I wonder if it is still good is there an expiration date on that? Silver doesn't expire to my knowledge...

As mentioned already above, FIV is normally transmitted by muscle-deep bites, the real serious stuff. Toms fighting for territory or when attacking a female. If I was you, I probably would get him tested eventually, just to know. I currently have 2 FIV+ cats and have had one years ago, who made...

My IBD cat did quite well on Farmina Wild Boar&Apple canned food. He also liked the Lamb & Blueberry, but I noticed change in stool and learned that Lamb is an irritant for IBD. Most of the time though, he got used to and enjoyed raw food. That was the true game changer. Home made even better...

Those are not really supplements, but remedies for conditions. If you decide to use those herbals (they can help you find the right remedy and dosage), I would suggest to put them into treats or something - like Churu or Tiki Soft Treats. He may not like it in food (that can actually hold true...

I know what you mean. Slippery Elm is pretty gooey and can have a bitter taste if it's not fresh. But there are other herbs than SEB that help the digestive and intestinal tract and are safe for long term use. Just wanted to point those NHV products out (I am not connected to them in any way...

Any thoughts given to herbal remedies? I often treat my cats with herbs (and have been for decades). I find NHV products to be very helpful and if you contact them they will give free advice and even follow up. I use a variety of their herbal preparations, as they have remedies for just about...
