    He was completely fine. They cleaned him out with an enema.

    Scab/growth Above Lip

    History: Found Frank as a stray when he was 2 months old. He was malnourished, had worms diarrhea. No problems since. He is now a healthy, 2-year-old, 18 pound cat. The concern: He has a small, vertically oriented growth or scab above his lip. I first noticed it 2 days ago. Yesterday a very...

    Anyone With An Ibs/ibd Cat Try Trdv Protocol?

    I stumbled across this protocol the other day and was pretty skeptical of what people were claiming, thinking the company probably posted the reviews. However, this website that spots fake reviews (Fakespot | Analyze and identify fake reviews) actually gives their listing on Amazon an A. I'm...

    Switching Cat To Wet Food

    Thanks for your responses! That brings up another question: Would it be better to mix the foods together each meal or rotate meals?

    Switching Cat To Wet Food

    Hey there, Our 11-month old kitten Frank was diagnosed with IBS when he was just several weeks old. He had a raging coccidia infection when we found him, and the vet diagnosed him with it then. At the time the vet recommended exclusively dry food. He was basically leaking poop so the dry food...

    Any Red Flags For Dry Fip In This Bloodwork?

    I'll spare you Frank's full story, though if you're curious just look at my post history. Anyway, we are a bit concerned that our 10-month-old Frank could have dry fip, though what he is experiencing has since been diagnosed as an IBD flareup. My question is simple: Are there any red flags for...

    Could It Be Dry Fip?

    Thanks, Kieka. Finally have a copy of his bloodwork. Would appreciate if someone could look at this and see if there are any red flags for fip.

    Could It Be Dry Fip?

    He has done well since receiving a steroid injection and appetite stimulant on Monday. Basically back to himself. However, this morning was a bit strange. He was walking around the beg with his mouth slightly ajar, purring loudly. He stopped meowing when I started petting him and then when I...

    Could It Be Dry Fip?

    The vet is quite confident that it is not in fact fip (phew). The absence of a fever, strange litterbox routines and the absence of something that happens to the eyes in 80% of dry fip cases make it extremely unlikely. For now the diagnosis is an IBD flareup. They did give him an enema, a...

    Could It Be Dry Fip?

    The vet on Reddit suggested that he is constipated but likely not enough to stop eating. Still, I think we'll probably push the vet for an enema.

    Could It Be Dry Fip?

    We would want to receive a clinical diagnosis of constipation before putting any undue stress on him. Hopefully we'll hear from the vet soon.

    Could It Be Dry Fip?

    He is at the vet right now so there is nothing we can do. We just left a message expressing our concern that he might be constipated. I will keep everyone updated, but in the meantime appreciate any and all advice. This has been very helpful.

    Could It Be Dry Fip?

    That is definitely interesting. Do his clinical symptoms (unproductive trips to litterbox, vocalizing in litterbox, anorexia, vomiting clear liquid) seem consistent with constipation?
