Hello All,
Our 15 year old DSH Tabby has had a ravenous appetite for about the last year. She will eat constantly and yet she continuously loses weight.
Our vet suspects IBS but only bases this on blood work and her ravenous appetite and weight loss.
I have switched her to a grain free canned food with a little Pure Vita grain free dry cat food.
I have added Prozyme and a probiotic as well as glutamine as I have read that these can help.
She is on 5mg of prednisione every other day.
I was considering starting her on a course of Metronidazole but I am not sure if that would just cancel out the probiotic.
I am looking for some guidance to see if I have missed anything here. I am not aware of any holistic vets in my area.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
