Recently our Maine Coon male went to a different vet, long story.
Basically he stayed overnight with an colon irrigation and fluids. He was also tested for pancreatitis and feline leukemia which were all negative.
We picked him up yesterday with prednisolone 5 g tablets to administer as follows: 4 days 2 pills a day then 4 days 1 a day and 1/2 every 24 to 48 hours.
There was no mention of trying novelty proteins or change of diet. I am guessing that might be discuss after the round of steroids?
Also being a 1.5 year old cat. How much would every day or every other day steriods long term affect his health?
Anyone have experience with possible ibd at such a young age?
Just a really concerned pet parent. The saga took us taking him to another vet rather than his regular. His regular vet was terrible. If you want to know the full story feel free to ask, it is just a really long story spanning 3 weeks.
