Hi everyone,
I would like to seek your advice in the following matter.
One of my cats, Tabby was diagnosed with IBD in mid-April. She’s been doing well since she started taking prednislone. I’m happy that she has started gaining weight!
I stopped giving her Cerenia about two weeks ago. Within a few days, she started throwing up hairballs. She has been vomiting once or twice around 7 in the morning a few times a week. It's either hairballs with clear liquid or hairs with small amount of brownish liquid.
Tabby does not like to be brushed, but I try to groom her regularly.
No vomit or nausea throughout the day, just in the early morning hours. So I thought it was due to acid build-up in the stomach during the night because of the stomach being too empty. I usually feed her 1/3 of a can of food around midnight. Since a few days ago, I feed her 1/2 of a can at midnight. But she still vomits this morning, just a small amount of hairs and fluid. (I feed Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Limited Ingredient Canned Food Turkey formula.)
It’s not like IBD vomits that she used to have, so I don’t think she need to take Cerenia anymore.
Has anyone had a cat with IBD with this type of vomiting or got any suggestions for what I should do next?
Some of the members recommend egg lecithin, pumpkin, and laxatone. Are they safe for a cat with IBD?
Thank you so much for reading!
Any answers are appreciated.
