The vet said she wanted to treat as IBD for now, but the antibiotic is only temporary to bring down possible inflammation (I'm guessing she sold us about a ten day supply). She said we could do an ultrasound later if things haven't improved with changes to his diet. The X-rays, physical exam...

Yesterday he ate a little more than 2.5 of the pouches, at 3oz a piece. Each one is like $1.29, I was hoping to not have to feed 4 a...
