    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    Update! Jasper is now on 50% raw as of right now, and he's barely eating his old food now. He has vomited since the food change, but I'm giving him more frequent meals since it's usually bile that he pukes up. A daily dose of famotidine seems to be helping with that as well. He's been eating...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    So another update: Jasper is still struggling a little. He has now been on the Zofran for the past day, and last night he was close to normal I'd say. He was laying on his back and sleeping for a bit, which makes me believe he was feeling alot better. Today however, he is gulping a little still...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    I've been giving him 2.5 mg of famotidine at least in the morning, and I think I'll start doing it 2x a day consistently. With all the new additions to his routine, I've been hesitant to throw everything at him all at once, and I've been trying to figure out a routine that works for him. Plus it...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    @lisahe Please go on as much as you like! I appreciate how in-depth you go, especially with how much you talk about Edwina. I'll have to tell Jasper about her and that he isn't alone in all of this. I looked at the BB Basics Turkey he has been on prior to the rabbit; there are different gums in...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    So just after I posted that update, he went back to not feeling great again. I'm disheartened to say the least. I thought we were on the up and up but his stomach issues/IBD has always humbled me somehow. I wonder if I need to dial back how much of the new wet food I'm giving him? I also called...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    Small update! Jasper has been eating Instinct Rabbit pate wet food, slowly introducing it to him. First off, he's RAVENOUS for it. Second, he has been "gulping" quite a bit less, so I'm guessing the rabbit was the right move, though it may be too soon to tell. I kinda wanna celebrate it a small...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    Yeah, he is on pred! Though I had to pester the vet a few times before they prescribed it to me. Good tip on the pumpkin puree, I didn't even think to put it in the freezer before, noted! And I have been looking into switching him to a rabbit based wet food diet since last night, it's a little...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    To reply to everything, right now he's on Blue Buffalo Basics wet food in the turkey flavor. The other two flavors in that line are not to his liking unfortunately, he's a little picky. I saw another person online recommend that for cats with IBD so I have it a shot, and it's caused very little...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    Alrighty, I hope to get more suggestions on how to manage Jasper's IBD better. I'm not 100% what caused the constipation, but I have taken him off his hard food officially tonight (I was worried about him not eating alot, and anything going down his gullet made me happy). He was also on a...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    Thank you all! The vet suggested keeping him on lactulose until he produces regular poops, but he is doing better for sure. I'll update this forum if there are more developments, but hopefully they'll be good ones if anything! :thumbsup:

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    I hit post on accident, but he pooped! He let out 4 average sized logs this morning, I'm hoping now we're mostly in the clear but what a Christmas miracle! :crackup:

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    Ah okay! Yeah, I might just have them give him an enema either Tuesday or Wednesday if we have no further results. I appreciate your words and insight. I've thought about possibly getting him tested for lymphoma but I feel as though it wouldn't change our treatment as far as the IBD goes even if...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    It seems that this was just a small amount of runny poop. I almost mistook it for a litter clump of urine when I looked at it in the litter box. And yes, we've only used it since Friday evening, so two days. Is this too early to be expecting more results? Friday evening he did pass a very small...

    Jasper has IBD and now is experiencing constipation

    Hello! New here! My cat Jasper is 14 years old and has been diagnosed with IBD almost a year back. He's currently on 5mg Prednisolone once a day, famotidine as needed, and once a day Cerenia (for a few days). He has also been put on 3cc Enulose twice a day due to this recent issue. He started...
