HE POOPED! An actual one-piece sort of normal-looking poop! This is the first one in a week!
Everybody, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'm excited to try these supplement suggestions and see what helps in the long term, but for now, I'm just so relieved. Special thanks to @lisahe and @di and bob for...
Don't feel bad, @bearNrocko... cats are notoriously good at cloaking symptoms, and IBD can be sneaky until it's not. You didn't do anything wrong and as soon as you began to suspect it you made a plan of action. Even the best-trained vets miss things too.
My Percy had a lot of the same...
This is definitely a tough one for me too. My cats aren't chewers, but I tend to keep only "known safe" plants like orchids and prayer plants to save myself the constant worry. My Henry qlikes to climb behind my plant shelf and gaze through the wall of leaves. I call it his jungle.

Really, can't thank you enough for sharing your experiences and what...
Thank you both so much for your helpful suggestions! :lovecat3: @Furballsmom @mrsgreenjeens
I'll definitely give the probiotics & psyllium husk powder (which I'd never even heard of!) a try! He has a low acceptance threshold for the pumpkin, so that sounds like a great idea for getting more...
Hey, fellow cat people. I'm at my wit's end. Percy's backed up, and we need help.
Please bear with me as I fill in some background...
Percy is a 12-year-old neutered male; he's a former feral, heavy on the Siamese genes. Unfortunately, he seems prone to all the... let's call them "Siamese...
