It appears to 3 different vets that my 6-1/2 years old cat has IBD or GI symptoms; pancreatitis snap test=negative, blood work, x-rays seems pretty normal ( waiting on urinalysys now) ...my cat responded well to Metronidazole and Cerenia and she's now (temporarely) on a hydrolized protein (not hapyy about the sudden dry food diet switch but she seems to enjoy it and gaining back the little weight she's lost...we'll see).
Now my question is: as I am trying to understand the cause of her illness, I just happen to run accross some articles about corn based cat litter being the cause of IBD?
I've being ising Swheat Scoop cat litter for the last 6 + years and yes, it can be pretty dusty, but never heard of possibly cause such a desease in cats!
I found articles about IBD related to corn based litter but not wheat....
Did anybody ever heard of SWHEAT SCOOP CAT LITTER causing IBD or other deseases in cats? If so, what would be the safest cat litter available then?!
Thanks.
