I just wanted to give an update as it’s been almost a year since Auggie was diagnosed with IBD. She completed the course of prednisolone with flying colors and has been med free for months now. We did get her on Rawz rabbit wet food along with some raw food and she’s been taking supplements of...

Auggie is doing really well. :hearthrob: She has a checkup with vet on Monday and hoping we can reduce the prednisolon - fingers crossed. I have a weird question that I think is related to IBD but might just be a because of one of her supplements. Her breath is really terrible, is this a symptom...

Auggie has been transitioning to the Rawz rabbit pate with no issues, yay. But that might be because she’s still on pred. So how do I know that this food is the one for her. I feel like I won’t know for sure until she’s off the pred, but wondering if there are any small signs I should look for...

She is doing pretty great. Thanks for checking up on us! The inflammation is going down, but slowly. So we have a ways to go still, but we were able to stop the zofran and mirataz. The prednisolone has made her appetite crazy, so she’s eating like a horse! We have gotten a lot of great info and...

Just got a case of Rawz rabbit pate delivered today! Will start the slooooooow transition tomorrow. We are doing a small meal every 3-4 hours. So she’s getting 5-6 meals a day. Was researching the feeders will probs try the one you linked daftcat75. I’m hoping I can insert glass or ceramic bowls...

Thanks so much - Looking into Rawz now! The pates appear to quite popular and out of stock in a lot of places. Is the pate texture easier on their tummies vs the shreds? I don’t want to give her dry food at all but don’t want her to go all night with nothing either. Trying to feed her as early...

I have been looking into fresh food vs raw food: smalls.com balancedblends.com Any opinions on these Brands? I worry about straight up raw food with the recalls, bacteria, and having to deworm her regularly. If I go full raw, it’ll be the freeze dried variety. Have been reading a lot on the...

She had several fecal tests including GI PCR Panel that all came back negative. They did so many tests, I’m sure that was in the mix and ruled out. She’s also on amoxicillin for 30 days now so if there is anything like that, hopefully that’ll kill it. She is doing great btw, was able to stop...

Our 5 month old kitten, Auggie, was just diagnosed with IBD after 2 months of tests, labs, scans and finally biopsy. I‘m very happy it is not lymphoma but find it strange since she is so young. Symptoms started after her 12 week vaccinations, so wondering if it’s an immune response or truly IBD...

Just got biopsy results - not FIP! Not lymphoma! And not histoplasmosis either! Diagnosis is IBD. I asked if it was 100% definitive that it was not the above three and answer is yes. Biopsies from four areas, pathologist, 2 vets and 1 internal medicine specialist all agree. We start...

Still no results from biopsy, but thought I’d give an update. Auggie has gotten better every day, honestly by Wednesday she seemed to be mostly back to herself. She is still on the zofran and mirataz and has also been on amoxicillin again 2x/day. No more pain meds. was worried the amoxicillin...

I have been up for nearly 36 hours. Husband taking night shift tonight, thank goodness. she’s doing better in the onesie, that cone was awful she barely slept last night and only starting sleeping this afternoon. Got her outta the cone and into the onesie which she did not like but then she laid...

Thanks you! I joined the FIP Warriors FB group and they have been extremely helpful. Know what to do now if we get a FIP diagnosis.

She had surgery this morning, biopsy and spaying. It went well but was a bit more involved due to her intestines being so inflamed so her incision is larger. But she woke up feisty which vet says is a good sign. They biopsied 4 areas and will take 7-10 days for results - ARG!!! We brought her...

Have been talking with FIP warriors group and now wondering if we should NOT do surgery tomorrow and try the FIP treatment first. If she gets better in a week, it was FIP. Otherwise the treatment won’t do any harm. The surgery on sick cat with FIP, might be risky. Ugh!!! Going to text vet today...
