    You guys have been so unbelievably helpful, and its been wonderful reading all your experiences, whether they relate to Caesar or not. We're all in the same boat here, our cats have health problems and we've all found ways to help them. Obviously Caesar has seen a vet, and while they initially...

    This was wonderful to read Carolina, thank you. I can say that just putting Caesar on a high quality canned food diet has made him so much better, friends an family don't recongnize him as the same cat. He's gained weight, he's playful, he's stopped vomiting, he's hungry, it's wonderful to see...

    It is available, and its what the vet suggested, but everyone I've talked to has been negative toward this approach, due to his age it's unlikely that its cancer that he has. The vet has is obviously more inclined to do the biopsy to confirm what they believe it is, but has been somewhat...

    Tbh, the vets here have been useless, but they did run a bunch of tests on him to which I have the results. I don't understand them at all, but I have a cousin who is a doctor who said she'd help me decipher them. Grain is definitely a problem, that much I've figured out by now, but I'm sure...

    Unfortunately I'm not in the states at the moment, I'm stuck in Sweden where they seem to care more about running tests to make money than to actually help him. I've contacted a few holistic vets nearby, and hopefully they can help and direct me to a nutritionist so I can help him. I believe his...

    My little man Caesar was recently diagnosed with IBD, or at least, they assume it is. Can't confirm the diagnosis without abiopsy and won't administer meds without confirmation, so I decided I'm was going to try to treat this with a change in diet, slippery elm bark and probiotics. For the last...
