Hi everyone - since mentioning this on another cat IBD thread, I've been looking into this more. When my IBD cat, Max, had his most recent flareup, I did read all about Animal Biome and the work they're doing and how many people seem to have had good results with it. But ultimately kind of chickened out in trying it since he does have other health conditions (hyperthyroidism) and I had no vet who could talk me through it.
I've since seen that multiple members here have tried the Animal Biome fecal microbiota transplant, and wanted to ask what your experiences have been?
What is the process like exactly? Do you think it's necessary that I do the whole kit -- i.e., pay for testing a fecal sample, etc.? Or would it be enough to just administer the supplement?
Have you all seen results with it? Or on the other hand, did any cat seem to do worse on it? Max hasn't wanted to eat his regular probiotics anyway (was trying to feed him Jarrow's s.boulardii + MOS), so I'm wondering if I should give this a shot before his IBD progresses much worse.
