I sent an email to the vet with the info from silent meowlook and FeebysOwner in response to the email I received from her. This was her email to me: "I cannot give you a prognosis without a definitive prognosis. I do not know if Scruffy has inflammatory bowel disease or an underlying cancer. I...

I have sent your information to the vet. Will see what she says. Thanks!

Thank you. I will speak to the vet about your suggestions. Greatly appreciated!

Sorry, accidentally hit post reply. The vet emailed me and said, "At this point in order to get a definitive diagnosis as to what is causing Scruffy's inapppetance and weight loss we would need to get intestinal biopsies. That is something that I would refer you to the specialist for. This...

He had a B12 shot 2 weeks before she drew blood for the maldigestion profile. She gave him another at the end of the appointment. I just took him back yesterday for acupuncture and another B12. The results came in Thursday from the lab. He has low folate 6.3 ng/mL (range 9.7-21.6) and high TLI...

I meant to include that this new vet is switching him from mirtazapine to Elura. He's been so nauseated. I started slippery elm several days ago. It's helped stop diarrhea, but he's still been vomiting a little. She's prescribed Cerenia as anti-nausea as well, but said the SEB is fine to...

I had an appointment with a different vet for a 2nd opinion. She said his protein levels haven't dropped enough for her to consider that it actually is PLE. His albumin/globulin levels are slightly low. She did an ultrasound, didn't find what she'd suspect to be lymphoma. Because of the...

I've asked the vet about it. This isn’t long term wasting like some older cats, even though they're eating well. This is over the last 2 months. I feel like the vet just isn't doing enough. I don't want to put my cat through this, and would like to stabilize him. I just found another vet that...

Another question, I read that the prednisolone can cause nausea and decreased appetite, and mirtazapine can cause decreased appetite, even though prescribed to increase appetite 🤔 Any good ideas for the nausea? I'm sure he is nauseated because he is asking for food, but then eats little to...

Thank you for your replies! I will look into the suggestions. As for checking the bacterial count, I will ask them about it. A fecal was done, and no parasites at that time.

I will email him to find out. I've been considering getting a 2nd opinion too. Thanks.

My cat was recently diagnosed with Protein Losing Enteropathy (PLE), possibly IBD. I can't get him to eat much, lucky if he's eating 2-3oz a day right now. He was 12 lbs last year, and now that I think about it, we were having issues with his weight staying constant, but he was within 10-12 lbs...
