Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am familiar with that site. I have tried many raw & home cooked options over the years. I have never heard of a phosphorous binder though - do you have any that you'd recommend? Is that something I'd get at the vet? Thank you!

Hi all, it's been awhile since I last posted here. Thank you to anyone who reads this - I really feel hopeless & need some guidance. My 16.5 yr old kitty has IBD & polycystic kidney disease. She was diagnosed with both when she was around 10/11 yrs old. I have tried everything under the sun in...

Just want to post another comment to reiterate that her appetite really isn't the issue- she has a great appetite and will eat as much as I give her if it's a food that she likes. She also rarely vomits or has hairballs. I'm pretty familiar with IBD and the common remedies (feeding raw, using...

Yup, we have tried basically everything mentioned in the comments above. She gets monthly B12 injections and has been getting them for about 5 years. We have tried many probiotics, including S Bouldardii a few different times over the years, but it always seems to make her poops worse. We have...

I haven't tried that yet but it's a great idea! My local store is currently out of the 'good' food so I'll pick some up to try it out once it's back in stock. She takes Prednisolone (5mg/day).

Hey everyone! *WARNING* Detailed discussion of poop below! The title basically explains it all, but here is some background if needed: My cat is 14 yrs old and was diagnosed with IBD when she was about 11, so we've been dealing with it for a long time now. I've found certain ingredients to...

My IBD cat has suffered from chronic diarrhea for years, but things are finally looking up with a food & probiotic change! I've used just the plain old clumping granular litter her entire life, but now that I live in a small apartment, it's getting pretty annoying to vacuum up tiny grains that...

I haven't tried those brands (they're not really available in my area- one pet store in the town next to mine sometimes has it in stock but it's pretty unreliable). I'm actually trying a food with absolutely no poultry in it right now & she's doing a bit better! I also started giving her S...

Thank you! I remember scouring these sites years ago, but it's definitely a good idea to refresh my knowledge again.

I have not tried to find one, but thanks for the advice! Were you referred to one by your vet?

Hi! I know this is an older thread, but my IBD cat has been on Prednisolone for years now (tapered down to 2.5mg per day), but I'm wondering if it's contributing to her chronic diarrhea... given your reply here saying that you don't give it to your cat every day, I'm curious to know if your vet...

Oh okay, thanks for the info! I'm actually in Canada & vets are definitely not receptive to raw in my area. I did look it up & there are some holistic vets in the major city about 30 minutes from my town, so I'll definitely look into it.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I'm aware of Pred side effects.. she is on the lowest dose for maintenance (2.5mg/day) & the vet has never discussed taking her off of it, so I'm not sure if they would be keen on taking her off it... they have mentioned it as a side effect but they haven't discussed...

Hey everyone! I've posted a few times about my cat Yoshi over the years, and I'm hoping you all can help me out again. This is a long post but please read & help me if you can! I don't know what else to do. Health summary: Yoshi got really sick with vomiting, not eating, & diarrhea in 2016...

We used appetite stimulants & anti-nausea meds in the past, when she was having a really tough time, but we haven't had to since. Thankfully, she really improved last night & was actually asking for food this morning, ate much more than she has in the past couple of days, & drank a lot of water...

I'll try that, thank you!

Thank you so much for the response. I will bring up getting x-rays with my vet tomorrow at the appointment, if I don't hear from her today.

Great, thank you so much! I just checked & my local pet store does offer similar things, so I'll definitely go pick some up.

Thank you for your response. I just tried mixing her food with some water & she ate a little bit of that, but not much. Do you have any recommendations for the sauce? I've never heard of that before.

Hi everyone, It has been awhile since I last posted on these forums, but I desperately need help once again. My cat was diagnosed with either IBD or small cell lymphoma about 2.5 years ago after a few weeks of ultrasounds, vet appointments, not eating, vomiting, and diarrhea (see my previous...
