I'm reading some conflicting information and I'm not sure what to make of it.
My cat has been through a lot the past three months. I won't list everything here for the sake of brevity but he was on different antibiotics twice since mid July. He has had diarrhea for probably about a month.
He went to the emergency vet last Thursday for lack of appetite and they suspect he might have either IBD or Gi lymphoma. It seems like his last round of prednisolone may have had a good effect, so he is back on that so we can find the lowest effective dose to help him.
His appetite is slowly improving but his diarrhea is bad. I'm seeing drips both in the litterbox and also sometimes wherever he's sitting. I see it just leak out of his butt sometimes.
For what it's worth, I think the diarrhea started around late July.
He was on an antibiotic around July 20-26.
prednisolone around July 20-Aug 16.
methimazole around July 21-Aug 25.
another antibiotic around Aug 22-27.
started prednisolone again Aug 25.
I read that probiotics could help with diarrhea/GI issues, but I've read conflicting things about whether it is okay to use with a steroid or not. I have Proviable DC and Pet Honesty Digestive probiotic powder. I left a message for the vet but I thought I would ask you all too, any thoughts?
