I have a 3.5 year old male cat who I got from the SPCA with what was claimed to be IBD just about a year ago and he has recorded issues going back about a year before this. He has been doing fairly well all things considered and has had a few flare ups but has seemed to be doing well for the...

I have a male domestic short hair that is 3 and a half years old who has IBD. I got him from a local pound about a year ago because the people who had him before this time could not care for him because of his IBD so they let him go. In this last year he has had two IBD flareups, one started on...

I have an IBD cat who has been doing really well on Fancy Feast wet food as per suggestions on the ibdkitties site. He doesn't like turkey and I have tried a few with lamb in it and he does not like that either and we can add duck to the list as well. I tried pretty much the entire Wellness line...

Does anyone have any thoughts on feeding pets with IBD food that has potatoes as part of the formula? My last cat also had IBD and for a while he really liked First Mate cat food which I found on IBD kitties and only has a few ingredients and one happens to be potatoes. The vet is recommending...

My old cat was a healthy cat all of his life and then when he was 16.5 years old he got in a cat fight and had a claw stuck in his side which got infected and ravaged him. He started with anemia and then IBD, renal failure, and pancriutus and lived until he was just about 20 years old. During...

The latest issue with my cat is dyspepsia which only happens when he is purring. This has been around for a few months now and the only way I can control it is to pet him for small amounts of time so he doesn't get into the deep purring when this happens. He will be 20 in May and has IBD, renal...

I have a 19 year old cat, Scratchy, who has a lot of gas in his intestines which is not settling down. He is fairly bloated which gets worse and better but never settles down. He has IBD, pancreatitis, anemia, renal failure, and arthritis most of which can compound this. Scratchy was doing...

I just wanted to offer a suggestion that has really helped my guy who has IBD. He also has issues with his panaceas, renal failure, and arthritis which does not help. For well over a year his average of not throwing up was sitting at 3 days and when he threw up he had no control and would throw...

I posted this in the health forum because I concerned with the help of my current cat so I posted it here. My cat is 19.5 years old and has arthritis, pancreatic issues, IBD, and renal failure so I am concerned about his health with another cat. He is doing pretty well but his immune system is...

I was wondering what is the proper way to inject drugs when giving a sub-q. I was taught to restrict to the line before the injection site at about 50% flow and then slowly inject the drug. I give him Cerenia every second day which stings them so I have to go really slow. When I let the hose...

For those of you giving you pet a sub-q I was wondering what temp you used? People say to heat it up but they don't say how much it should be. My vet said room temp is fine but I am trying to make this as easy as possible so I have been heating them to 97 degrees and this will cool as it goes...

Stigma aside there has been a fair amount of research with the use of marijuana and treating IBD in humans with very good results. I have also been reading about some research and testing with animals such as horses, dogs and cats and was wondering if anyone has tried this with their pet? On the...

I was hoping I could get some help trying to determine how much food my cat can safely eating one sitting to ensure he is not over-eating. I work and sleep for part of the day and there isn't always someone around to care for the cat so I need to leave food out for him. When I sleep or go to...
