Psycho is 10 and over the last few years he s had bouts of inappetence , vomiting bile in the am and hairballs. When his appetite wained I gave him Mirtz once and he would be good for several months. The bile pukes escalated from once monthly to 3-4 times a month. He had his 6 month Wellness check mid April his weight was stable but the bile pukes continued as well as pooping and then spitting up bile. His blood work was all good and our Vet said everything felt good on the palpitations. Vet thought food allergies because he was scratching especially around the neck and ears or the beginnings of IBD.
He eats canned twice a day and Orijen maybe 1/4 c a day. Vet suggested putting him on Pred for 6 weeks then taper to knock out the inflammation. I changed his kibble to Young Again LID since the new Orijen formula is loaded with fish. He has had no bile or poop pukes since he started Pred on April 19. His appetite is great and I know that has to do with the Pred but hopefully it will continue when the inflammation is under
control.
I wondered if anyone else had the experience where diet change and a course of Pred can help keep full blown IBD at bay.
