I am resigned to the fact my cat has IBD.  He's doing ok other than that now though so I'm happy. I do need to switch his litter though and wondered what you all thought is the best litter for a cat with chronic loose stools. Thanks for your help!

No he is not losing weight.  He's still in pretty good shape.  He's having diarrhea about once or twice a day, no more.  The hair being matted is the new part.  Not sure what's causing this.  Feel like I'll never get this IBD thing solve.  Thanks for your insight!

My cat is now on the Saccharomyces Boulardii with MOS (mannanoligosaccharides) and the diarrea got better for a few days but now it has returned.  Not sure what in the world is going on.  It's been about a week since we started.  Any other ideas or thoughts? Thanks!

any idea how long it will take for the probiotics to work? I already ordered. Thanks!

Hi, first post because I'm desperate for some kind of solution to my poor cat's problem.  So he was having diarrhea a few years ago and we took him to the vet only to find out he had hyperthyroidism.  We had him treated with radioactive iodine and he was  cured, at least of the hyperthyroidism...
