My 18 year old kitty has been treated successfully for Ibd for two years. She started losing weight again very gradually several months ago. She loses about a quarter pound a month. She lost weight before treated for Ibd but had been stable.her vet has treated her all her life and started her on...
It is hard for me to believe that is it but it very well maybe..I will see vet again Thursday. I was so panicked I practically had signed over the next stimulus check to the vet.
No. I am praying the vet is right and it is the diabetes. He is very good. I absolutely freak out if she loses now because it makes me afraid it will be like before she was diagnosed with Ibd and put on budesonide. I am stuffing her as much as possible. her tummy looked a bit more rotund last...
Yes the YouTube videos taught me how to do it. I was approaching from the front. Now I do it exactly how they tell you on YouTube and I pill her every day. She is getting her pills... But sometimes she still gets a bite in
Her diabetes is not under great control right now and we are adjusting the insulin. If her diabetes was stable I would ask about starting leukeron. I'm worried because it could take a week or so to stabilize the diabetes. She has never lost weight before when her glucose was a little high. But...
Thank you for the good suggestions and information. My 17 year old kitty has ibd and diabetes and has been stable and slowly gaining weight. The scariest ibd symptom was very rapid weight loss. Now her glucose is not stable and she is losing weight. The problem is the ravenous eating and weight...

Thank you. Double checking the glucose levels. She is on fancy feast classic pate and has done well on it. I know it is not optimal but given her diabetes and just controlled vomiting and diarrhea I am afraid to rock the boat. She is on s broulardi and cerenia. Going back to the vet tomorrow. I...
Thank you.. given the need to move quickly, would you go directly to you leukeron? I could increase the budesonide while we schedule the ultrasound. How dangerous is it for humans? She licks everything before she plops down, licks my fingers etc. I am concerned about the danger...
I feel like I...
Thank you. We are watching to be sure the diabetes is under control. It was a little high and vet thought that might be a cause of weight loss. It has been higher and never caused weight loss. I am very grateful for the information. Question:
-Would you suggest increasing the budesonide...
Last year My 17 year old kitty lost a lot of weight rapidly before diagnosed with Ibd and put on budesonide, b12 shots. She became diabetic quickly. Suddenly she has begun losing weight again and I am panicking because she is thin now. Before she went from 16 to 10 pounds. She had been...
