Hello,
I am hoping someone on this forum can help me. I've had my male cat Rusty for 14 years. For the past two months he had very running diarrhea so I took him to the vet a month ago. They run blood tests, examined him and everything came back normal. The vet suspects IBD and since then he has been taking 5mg of Prednisolone daily but this hasn't helped very much.
I have completely stopped feeding him dry food per the vets orders and have tried all different types of wet cat food but nothing is really helping him. I'd say 6 or 7 out of 10 times he still has diarrhea
3 days ago I started giving him 1 capsule of Align Probiotic and ever since then he has had TERRIBLE watery/running diarrhea that has been happening 4 or 5 times a day. Is this normal?? I had read one post from a member on here that had success with using Align so that's why I decided to try it but I'm now worried that this is making him worse? Is that even possible or is body trying to adjust to the Align and this is causing the watery diarrhea?
Tonight, I rushed out and got him some yogurt which he ate about half of the container and I also gave him 2 teaspoons of canned pumpkin...so far he is doing ok...sleeping at the moment.
I love this cat like my own child and sadly I'm broke and unemployed like all of the other millions of people in America. I've already also spent $500 in vet bills
Can anyone on this site help me with what else (suggestions) on what to do?
