My cat got really tired of Instinct raw rabbit so I tried other brands and flavors which he likes, but it's given him problems. So I have to revert back to the rabbit but he'll take forever to finish his food so I have to sprinkle freeze-dried duck and chicken to get him to finish, but it still...
My cat, Sultan, hasn't been officially diagnosed with IBD, I just assumed it based on how prone to diarrhea or soft poop he's been for so many years. He threw up yet another time tonight, which is the 3rd time today, so it's been 5 times total between yesterday and today!!!!
I tried to make...
Oh no, I just got home and there was soft poop from him. And then later he threw up bile again, which is the 2nd time today! Yesterday he threw up bile twice too, meaning that's 4 times in 2 days!!!! Now I'm worried, this isn't right. Now I'm thinking of putting him back on pumpkin. Or...
Well, he's always been a pukey kind of cat, about once a week on average. So I've experimented with different brands of foods and flavors, and I noticed that he seems to throw up bile more often with certain foods. Right now he's been eating Stella & Chewy's raw duck and he seems to be...
I waited a couple of weeks before I reported back on how my cat is doing after giving him slippery elm with each meal and taking him off of canned pumpkin completely from day 1 of slippery elm. It did seem to solidify his poop consistently most of the time, yay! And he seems to be throwing up...
I only change his food when he's having soft poop/borderline diarrhea. Would anyone know if it's okay to give slippery elm with each meal? I feed him twice a day.
My cat has been on a raw diet for a couple of years now. He used to love FortiFlora but got tired of it. He's gotten tired of all his food -- I keep having to try different brands and flavors, it's so tiring for me.
Thank you so much for all your interesting suggestions! Is it safe to give the rice water remedy or the slippery elm bark for a long period of time? I just hope my cat will eat these remedies, he's super picky.
Canned pumpkin used to help my cat, but lately I've had to use more and more of it and his poop texture is very inconsistent. I'm hoping that there's some other natural remedy other than canned pumpkin that I can add to his food. I only give him raw food from brands such as Instinct and Stella...
Hi Bellacat, how bad was your cat's stomatitis? My cat has had it for 6 months now and it got worse, so now we're thinking about putting her down to end her misery, but after reading about your cat having this problem for years and getting better from a diet change gives me great hope!!! I just...
I did try this syrup from the Dallas vet dental clinic and it did NOT work at all for my cat. I was told it can take 45 days. On the 40th day I told the receptionist, Kelly, that there's been no improvement and she told me to increase the dosage by 20%. I did that for 5 days and had to stop...
Hi Carolina, I know you sent a PM but I thought it would be beneficial for anyone else who has a cat suffering with stomatitis. It's quite confusing with the name change of that clinic. : )
Bugsy was so fortunate that he didn't have any side effects from the meds and that it worked quickly for him! How long ago was the last time you had to give him the meds? And how much longer did you continue the meds after he started showing signs of improvement?
Yes, I will definitely call...
The phone number given to me by Carolina was (972) 385-8400. The clinic have changed their name since and are now called Veterinarians Dental. Here's their website: http://www.vetdentdallas.com/
Hi Carolina, did Bugsy experience any side effects from the medication?
Kelly from that Vet Dental clinic in Dallas you referred me to said that my cat has to be on it for the rest of her life, even if she shows improvement. She said that if I stop the meds during improvement that the...
