I want to thank everyone for being so supportive today. I was frankly a little hysterical with worry. But when I got home today Sophie hadn't vomited while I was gone, a marked improvement. They've been on the HE for a full day now. Went to the vet, and she hasn't lost weight, her heart...

Oh totally Sharky and mschauer, I'm not doing ANYTHING until I talk this over with my vet, get her blood test results, etc. I was just curious about what companies out there are worth my time investigating. However, the more I read about the raw diets available online the more convinced I am...

I have a 10 year old Himalayan who is looking more and more like she's developed IBD. She suffers from bouts of colitis and/or vomiting and has lost a pound over the past year (she was 8.3 pounds in her prime). She is going in to see the vet this afternoon to be examined, probably get a blood...

Yeah, I'm waiting for 8 AM for my vet's office to open. The frustrating thing with them is that they keep just throwing her on antibiotics. She's been on them three times this year. However, there is no diarrhea this time. Her stool is totally normal. The daily vomiting isn't something she...

Yeah, I'm getting worried now because she has thrown up every day this week (starting Sunday). Now, it's only been one full day since I put the Royal Canin HE back out. It's midnight right now and she just got up to throw up again. There are carrots from the Merrick's Thanksgiving Dinner in...

Yes, I brush her daily and give her Laxatone once a week. Her coat has always been beautiful. No thinning, so dullness, etc. People always remark on her fur whenever they see her. This evening she chowed down on the HE. And now she's resting peacefully on my bed. I'll stick with this Rx...

The vet gave me HE to get her over her colitis. They ate it for two months and her stool went back to normal. She was still vomiting about once a week (almost always a hairball -- she is a Himalayan). It wasn't prescribed as a permanent fix, just something to get her tummy back in order. I...

The vet put her on Royal Canin HE after her recent bout of colitis (this was back in early September). I'm guessing that has a HUGE amount of carbs. It helped her diarrhea. But she was still throwing up too much. So I need to focus on getting them transitioned to canned foods, and should...

Ugh, I just want to cry. I have no idea what to feed her now... I saw on other threads that you do not like Before Grain because the protein is too low for being "grain free" which made you suspicious. What do you think of Taste of the Wild?

Soy would make sense because I tried them on Before Grain. I thought there was no soy in it, however there is one ingredient called lecithin that I guess is derived from soybeans. And she's started vomiting again three weeks in (that's how long it took to transition them from the old dry...

Yeah, I think I'm too worried to take the plunge with Wellness CORE. I'll do more reading of other threads to see what people think. For now I think I'll stick with a chicken/rice formula dry and try some other kinds of non-fish wet to see if that will entice her. She probably will like the...

I am trying to get my two cats to eat more wet than dry food. They currently get a heaping tablespoon of Wellness/Dick Van Patten wet in the morning and again in the afternoon (equaling about an ounce of wet for each cat per day), and I keep a measured amount of dry food on hand for them. One...

Yeah, now I've decided to try California Natural instead. Much fewer ingredients.

Oh, I'm glad to see people mentioning California Natural. I stumbled across it just this morning while doing more research. I think I'm going to try this one. I like the fact that it has very few ingredients.

Ooooh, I posted my question in another thread but I think I might try Taste of the Wild for my cats. Wellness Complete Health gave them both loose stools and I want to stick with a high end grain free dry food in addition to the canned food they already get.
