Thank you, Right now he seems to be doing better...Doing the RC Rabbit in can, giving him Power Probiotic by Ask Ariel and started him on liquid B12 methylcobalamin  (no additives or preservatives)...  haven't had to give him appetite stimulant for 3 days now and poo looks a little...

Well here we are again... Boo, my 4 1/2 year old male cat who has probable IBD starting flaring again last Saturday. A little history : Pancreatitis in past (left and treated at vet), inflammation of gallbladder and liver in past.(Medication for 6 months) Current diet until this last flare of...

I agree ... I am going to Try to eliminate Guar Gum first.... I really feel there is something to these "gums" perhaps ... If not perhaps it is the combo of them and the Carrageenan.

All I know is I asked a receptionist at the vet's office who is usually the one who puts the stock of food when it comes in away. She didn't know anything about the change. This was before I even knew about a change. All I noticed was the smell was different and the color was darker and the...

Does your cat have Inflammatory Bowel Disease ? If so, if this is working out that is wonderful. Hounds & Gatos canned I checked out and it does however contain many "gums" which I believe can be a trigger for cats with IBD. Stella & Chewy's, I did try that about a year ago, however I did not...

I never tried the RC Dry Rabbit only because I was skeptical about the "hydrolyzed Soy protein" in it... As I review the ingredients in the RC dry I see it also has some other ingredients that could raise a red flag for cats with IBD / allergies... Vegetable oil, Rosemary extract. Coconut oil...

Just went through the same ordeal. Boo has IBD and it is simply crazy as to the choices out there and from well known reputable pet food manufacturers ! I have searched extensively and Boo was eating RC Rabbit in can and Addiction Rabbit & Blueberries in the can when he had his last flair up...

I agree... It is most likely a sign of either acid reflux or nausea... I had a cat before with CRF that did this, I also have a cat now with Inflammatory Bowel Disease that when his IBD flairs up will do this. Without going back to your post if your cat is on Prednisone or has been on it...

All of us have been there, done that, still ongoing. There are many excellent suggestions  on this forum. I have three 4 + male cats, all who don't like to travel, Boo being the worst . You would think he was being murdered. Soon as we left the driveway he would start his very loud and...

Exactly... I picked up 12 cans of the RC Rabbit in the cans about 4 days ago and noticed right away when I opened the lid that it was darker in appearance and also not as soft in consistency. I then smelled it, it had between a  beef broth smell and also liver and when I offered it to Boo , who...

I have a slightly different case. Spook is 4 years old (male, neutered), we also have two other male cats around the same age. Spook has been diagnosed with FIC (feline interstitial cystitis) and is prone to sometimes struvite crystals and sometimes no struvite crystals but a high ph (has been...

Peabengal, I have Grizzly Salmon oil, I need to get it back out of the **** and start supplementing Spook again with it. I don't know the carb content on the fromm, it might be a little higher in carbs. Did  your cat have issues with Struvite crystals and /or FIC (idiopathic cystitis) ...

How long have you been giving the wellness ? I have used Wellness grain free canned before in past animals I had . The reason I didn't even consider Wellness was because of past reviews and "complaints" from pet owners on different websites that had their cats develop UTI while on it. How...

Yes, it is struvite crystals..... He has had just flairs of FIC without crystals though. I tested his PH last night it was 6.4, wonderful compared to 7.5 a week ago. I also have read that when a cat eats his body goes into an alkaline state that is why it is suggested that free feeding should...

PeaBengal, What canned food do you feed ??? Yes, if RC didn't have to add all those Carbs it MAY be a decent food. My two main concerns are the grains and all the salt and I am not really happy with the fact that there are just a few RX diets and all of them are basically the same. We tried...
