I am just offering a veterinarian approved method, if you don't want to do it or it does not work for you and your cat,  that's fine too.

Cats do not want or like to be wrapped up. If you have a cat that refuses to take a pill or any medicine for that matter, wrap him in a towel very fast. In my case I have to catch my cat and be very quick to get the towel around him. Of course they don't like it. The idea is you can contain...

Just wrap you cat with a towel, like a burrito. The won't move at all.

Well I am so happy today! My cat had a normal BM. First one since March of last year. Here is what I am doing: I switched his food to grain free about 2 months ago, canned food. I am feeding him Nutro canned pate. Also, I stopped all fish, as he has terrible diarrhea when eating this. I put...

He could have urinary track disease. My cat drinks so much water it is unbelievable. He parks himself at the water bowl. You should have a urine test done.

That is food poisoning. Your veterinarian may prescribe a week’s worth of oral antibiotics if the Clostridium perfringens toxin is found. Cats that need to be treated for long-term cases of diarrhea may need to be given antibiotics for a longer period of time. Dietary management is also...

I would get another opinion first before putting to sleep.

My cat has diarrhea and the prednisone has not helped. In my opinion, you should try it and see if it helps your cat. If not you will have to take other measures as I have found out. .

I am so sorry this happened to you. It is very interesting and confirmed my belief about too many vaccines

I have a friend whose cat with diabetes lost the use of her hind legs as well. Perhaps the vet can run the blood test for diabetes only.

Fortiflora works great. In fact, I am picking up our second box of packets from the vet today. My cat loves it.

Thank you, I will give it a try.  It's a big mystery now. I wish they could tell us what is wrong, lol.

Thanks for clarifying the ultrasound procedure. I think all signs point to IBD or a food allergy or both, but I am going to get the digestive blood test done first to rule out pancreatitis. Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate your time and I will let you know how the blood test...

Thanks so much for this info. I will take this info to my vet and get these tests done. His weight is going up. He weighed 18lbs when this started and now weighs about 20lbs due to the pred. Made him more hungry. Do they have to anesthetize a cat for the ultra sound? I will not anesthetize him...

ok, I will take him in next week and get the pcr fecal test. My vet told me that if I put my cat on Hills zd, it could take 4 weeks or more to see if that works. I have some cans of that also, but have not tried it because 4 weeks is a long time to determine if this food will work or not...
