Without going into too much detail , because there are so many…
One of my girls recently had an US for reasons other than her multi colored poo and anal gland issues.
The ultra sound resulted showing 2.5 thick intestine walls. I was told this is ibs that leads to lymphoma. We can’t rule out lymphoma without biopsy.
Vet wants to switch to ZD diet to ease inflammation. I think She says this will stop the progression. It was all so fast I didn’t really process information.
Her litter mate shows stronger symptoms and has for much longer. We are pending her US. I fear the worst but I am hopeful.
My girls are so picky. We tried the ZD with no success
I tried 3 cans- morning and night mixing 1 spoon or less only. I already knew by seeing the loaf texture it was not going to work for them.
The next trial - this week has been RC select protein RD. Day two, they eat some in the morning but are mostly refusing. After a couple of hours I pick it up and feed them their normal food with no medicated. The vet also ordered duck flavor, hopefully will be in a couple of days. This texture is much better than the loaf. One cat actually ate a good amount of her plate tonight however it’s not the cat with confirmed issues. She ate nothing.
My late pup of 17 years , towards the last years of his life gained severe skin allergies. Missing hair , itching like a mad man. RC is actually what he ate.
My cats do not have skin allergies. They do not itch. We have been rocky with food quality changes and their poo is multi colored. Two years ago I had issues with gray poo, diarrhea , and blood, but , it’s been two years since I’ve seen those issues. They resolved when I switched to Purina. Came back last October. They also get hairballs.
I’ve been trying to research food , but this is impossible to understand.
I saw hills d/d that looks like it has more flavors, but looks like it is more for skin allergies? Are these the same thing ? Or must it be digestive food? Two years ago I had semi success with gastrointestinal in the shredded but ended up adding it in as a hard food supplement. I stopped that long ago. My girls don’t drink water and one is over weight. I didn’t see the benefit.
I honestly don’t really understand what is wrong with my girls and how thick walls lead to lymphoma. I didn’t ask questions when the vet initially called with the results. I was just beside myself. Inflammation? Can this get better or do we just stop it from getting worse?
I’m not asking a medical diagnosis for my pet, I’ve already got it. Just trying to better understand. From what I understand a change in diet is the only way to save her?
Trying to better understand all the options of food. I’m not even sure the office understands all the options of foods. What exactly am I looking for or what am I looking to avoid?
