Thank you. I'm so sorry about the loss of your cat.
Rachel's vet (who is reported to be very good with doing ultrasounds) said he doesn't see anything that suggests other than IBD but, of course, will follow up. Rachel was hospitalized for a day and a half, given iv fluids, appetite stimulant, Cerenia and Pepcid AC. All blood work comes back normal except for high neutrophils but not so high that it can't be attributed to a stress reaction. He would like to start her transitioning to Hill's Z/D. Right now, he's suggesting Cerenia tablets and Pepcid. He doesn't want to start her on Pred yet based on his ultrasound findings and wanting to see how she does with a new diet. All this is traumatic for cat and me. As of today, Rachel can't get enough of her food - no vomiting so far - no itchiness either (which has been an on-going issue with her. I guess Cerenia helps with that somehow.
Were your cats prescribed Cerenia?
I guess we're in a waiting game to see if the new diet will help. If Rachel has symptoms return then we're back to the vet asap to talk next steps. I so much would like Rachel to have the experience that your 15 year old cat has!
