I have had questions before about my kitty who has IBD with constipation. She was having flare ups about every 6 months or so but now they seem to be closer together. She is allergic to so many things that we really don't know what all she is allergic too. Her flare ups usually start with either an allergic reaction to something in her food or she starts having constipation issues. She usually gets fluids, B12 injection and sometimes needs an enema. She also gets Cerenia when needed. The B12 injection she gets once a month. She gets Miralax in her canned food twice a day but doesn't always seem to be working for her.
The vet has now started her on prednisolone. I am also giving her Benadryl twice a day for 2 days because of the allergic reaction to something in her canned food and then when needed. I was shown today how to give fluids and the supplies for this. They really didn't take the time to show me and it was hard for me to watch the vet tech jab the needle in so I know I won't be able to do this.
I guess I am just asking if anyone gives their cat prednisolone for IBD kitties and does it help reduce the flare ups? I also wanted to know if anyone has their cat on Hills prescription z/d canned food. I was given this today and I only bought one can because Peaches is so picky and the only canned food she will eat without issues is Wellness Turkey. The food she recently had a reaction too was Nature's Variety Turkey and Rabbit canned food. I am guessing she can't have peas. I only tried that food because she stopped eating her Wellness and was trying different foods to get her to eat.
I am just hope all the things she is on will finally help. It would be nice to even go 6 months between flare ups again. She seems to be sick a lot more lately.
