Sadly, you don't. Even when you get respite with some meds, you will always wonder - what is next. I am not trying to discourage you, just trying to let you know it is the (unfortunate) norm.How does one ever completely relax?

The vet said that Ondansetron was for nausea and is an appetite stimulant, so I'm getting confused, ha ha.If I have already said something to you about s. boulardii, forgive me. But it could be an alternative to Metro. It is a probiotic that is not affected by antibiotics, seems to work to help alleviate diarrhea and loose stools, is OTC, and has been used by others who have cats with IBD. The benefits of using S. Boulardii for cats– FullBucket Health
The Clopidogrel can cause lack of appetite, diarrhea, and sometimes even vomiting. I also understand it can be given with food to help offset the lack of appetite and vomiting.
A lot of cats who are semi-nauseous do better with dry food and/or treats, even some human foods. Not sure why. I would still would look into an appetite stimulant to go along with ondansetron.
Yeah, we did too, got the prescription filled at CVS. It says Ondansetron HCL — and was $110 for 28 4mg pills, to be given twice daily. Whewwww...My vet suggested I get ondansetron from a local pharmacy (Publix). It is the 'human' form, and I think it is a lot cheaper that way. I know the price can vary, but I believe I paid less than $20 for 60 pills at 4mg a piece. My vet recommended I give Feeby 4mg 2-3 times a day.
I messaged the vet and they say that drug is correct, and is expensive at human pharmacies but is less pricey directly from them or their online pharmacy. Seems very odd to me, but we've already bought it so, *shrug*That pill from Chewy looks like the one I get from Publix. Cannot explain what the heck CVS is doing, other than theirs is the HCL version. That would be the key as to what the difference is - and I am not sure about that part. I'd start with asking your vet about the difference and see what they say. I am not sure there really is one in terms of effectiveness - could be wrong though.
