    Don't Know What To Do (IBD)

    Sounds like Mogli is quite the cat. I can't imagine either of my cats, including the feral one, eating anything.  The feral will eat on some days and some days she will not eat anything.  It sounds like the German food you are feeding Mogli is like the Royal Canine Crybaby was on.  It was...

    Don't Know What To Do (IBD)

    It is the prednisolone and she had minor improvement, then went right back to the way she was.

She has the most beautiful and emotional eyes and I just cry for her...

    Don't Know What To Do (IBD)

    Yes, she has been tested for lots of different things.  Fecal samples have been sent to our Vet School in Raleigh, NC and nothing showed up, other than she did not have any bacteria in her poop.  So she was started on the probiotics, which she could taste on the food and would not eat it.  Now...

    Don't Know What To Do (IBD)

    We have a 5 yr old short hair tabby female cat, "Crybaby", who is fighting a losing battle with IBD.  She has gone through treatments with the steroids, antibiotics and 2 years of B-12 injections every month.  After her initial treatment of getting the steroid, antibiotic and B-12 each week for...
