I just saw your post. I'm so so sorry. I wish I could take the pain away, my heart really goes out to you. It's very heartbreaking and yes, as a cat lover, for me, it's one of the worst kinds of emotional pain. Please don't feel guilty either, it's so natural to blame ourselves. We just aren't...

Thank you😊 will have to try some of those. She's doing great now, as long as I give her her enzyme/probiotic powder . If I don't she'll go back to having terrible diarrhea and some vomiting. But her problem of low/spot urinating/FIC has stopped now. It just went away... didn't need to take the...

I just read that certain types of fungus can perpetuate C diff, so Flagyl may be used for both. So you may be partly right... I appreciate your help 😊...Java foams at the mouth at anything nasty.

Perhaps get your home/property sprayed by a professional company.. Some households in places like AZ have "scorpion paths" that seem to run through certain areas.

I used to be a petsitter part time before I got my cat. So I'm really particular who I have come into my house and more importantly who's going to be the most loving towards my baby. I advertised in the "services offered" in the pets section on Craigslist and got quite a few calls. I also saw...

That's wonderful, I'm glad your kitty is better. Java has been eating only one type canned food that is grain free chicken for almost a year, so I'll look into changing the protein source. She's done fantastic on it until recently. She's so picky when trying other foods and can easily go into...

I know you're probably fed up with spending all of this money on litter boxes (like I would be). But have you tried the covered boxes that give privacy? (Also called Buddah boxes) Maybe it's not the length of box but the amount of privacy that could make a difference. With the box covered, the...

Thanks. I didn't change her food, and I'd been giving her the powder for 2 months which seriously improved her stools. My vet thinks it's possible Java's IBS could be from me feeding the chicken protein exclusively for so long. I did start adding a little more of the enzyme powder than...

I know...Java and my last cat would get "acidy tummies" and would cat gack clear liquid if I didn't feed them on time. I think just thinking about food, even when they did get it on time, gets their stomach acids going. Have you tried any probiotics? Java has thrown up from some human...

Good to know, thanks. My vet said it may need to be given indefinitely at a possible lower dose, but that didn't sit well with me. I haven't given her any yet and will try some probiotics first. She's doing so much better today and all I've really done is continue the enzyme/acidophilus powder...

Thanks, I think I remember Flagyl as being one of the antibiotics that has quinolomes in it (?). And from what I've read, many humans have had neurological problems from quinolomes..some of them long term. I personally have vowed not to take it myself, just because I've got a super sensitive...

Thanks. That helps a lot too, in knowing that IBS cats are sensitive to chicken, because that's been Java's only food for the past 7 months. Can I ask what you feed him now? Is Leroy completely better? I just ordered a cat probiotic with S. Boulardii. Today she's been so much better I haven't...

Thank you. I'm so sorry this happened to you as well. I firmly believe that we'll see our pets again. They know how much we loved them. Java is doing really well today even after I decided to not give her the Flagyl, so I'm feeling more hopeful. Thanks for your support, it is so appreciated 🙂.

Thank you! I will look into this for her. Have a nice day.

Wow... that's really great information, thank you. Did Quinn only take the two doses, or did he have to take the full 10 day course? And how is Fussy Cat different from other cat foods? Also when Wizzard's IBS turned into lymphoma, did that create serious problems for him. Is he still here...

Thanks. I just ordered DrFormulas Nexabiotic (?) Probiotics for cats. Other than a couple reviews saying it made their cat worse, the majority said it made a great difference. We'll see! Ahhhhh.....kitties! Gotta love Em's.

That makes sense.. thanks. My new vet was also telling me that he believes heart problems could be caused by grain free cat foods. Something to do with certain nutrients (especially taurine) that isn't being properly absorbed into their systems. He told me to Google heart problems/ grain free...

Hi. My cat has been on grain free wet cat food and was doing great on it until two months ago. I've been giving her the same food mixed with cat enzymes that has acidophilus in it which has made her like a kitten, firmed her stools and increased her appetite. But now, she's acting like she's got...

Hi. If your vet has ever put your cat on Flagyl, can you tell me your personal experience with it? My vet gave me a prescription for my cat who has started to have chronic IBS/ diarrhea. Did Flagyl do more harm than good for your cat? Did it significantly lower appetite? What were/are the side...

Yay! I hope your boy is still better now. I try not to get mad, but it's upsetting to think that the other vets didn't recommend the Meloxicam earlier. Gosh, all of those visits in the ER. You and you're kitty are definitely troopers. I wouldve had a nervous breakdown by now I think...
