    Constipated cat and medical roller coaster

    So to add to the drama of IBD cat, he decided to vomit several times this morning, sparking a lot of anxiety about whether he's now allergic to his food (that he was doing well on), or that his thyroid is really worse than we thought, etc... only to find in the last puddle of vomit a bunch of...

    Is Fortiflora safe for cats with chicken allergy?

    I do wonder how well they hydrolyze it, what process they use, and whether they check for residual protein (like they do to certify gluten-free foods). I stopped using it with my cat who has a chicken allergy because there isn't enough proof it's safe for him. Some of the allergy prescription...

    Anyone try Farmina?

    I used to buy mostly Farmina for my IBD cat, but the quality of their wet food has gone steadily down as they outsourced production outside of Italy. Like it used to look like food for humans, and now the cans are either a disgusting mush or mostly water and little to no food in them that look...

    High Protein Food Trial

    I had a CKD cat eating Dr Elsey's and he was doing fine on it, actually started to get better on it (gained weight and had more appetite). It's sporadically available at Petsmart.

    High protein dry without soy, peas, lentils, seed oils?

    My IBD cat can't have chicken or tuna, the dry food he used to get are mainly freeze dried (Stella and Chewy, Meow NZ, Ziwi Peak) though we had to cut those out since they have green lipped mussels and we think it might be causing issues. He also gets Farmina Ocean Kitten food as a treat, it's...

    Constipated cat and medical roller coaster

    Thanks everyone for the replies, and sorry I didn't post back earlier, it has been quite a rollercoaster with his health issues lately. He has been way more vocal than usual, but I attributed it to him having an upset tummy due to all the miralax he's giving (and the moratorium on dry food...

    Constipated cat and medical roller coaster

    Some background: one of my cats has had ongoing constipation for about a year. Prior to that he was vomiting on a regular basis, we just thought he was a pig stuffing himself too much, until we recently realised he's most likely allergic to chicken and tuna. Based on his regular vet's advice, we...

    Rawz "Natural flavors"

    Oh that's good to know! But sadly I think the Rawz rabbit is off the table for us anyway. We gave him that, and maybe it was just the change in food, but we had the worst week we've had in months of tummy issues (constipation and diarrhea alternating), and he was sad and unwell.

    My cats wet food only reviews

    Just tried the Rawz rabbit for my IBD Cat, it's a no go. He'd rather starve. Farmina ND in general are a hit, he likes all of them so far, but we suspect he doesn't do well on them and there's too many ingredients to figure out the offenders. Canada Fresh Red Meat: It's okay. He'll eat it if...

    Rawz "Natural flavors"

    I'm sorry to hear about Krista :( but at least that's very reassuring that they're careful with that. I did ask customer service again and they clarified that they only add the flavors of whatever protein is present in the ingredients.

    Rawz "Natural flavors"

    So I just bought some Rawz rabbit for a cat who has a suspected chicken allergy, and the can lists "natural flavors" on their ingredient list. Based on their website they can be vegetables, beef or chicken based. I contacted customer service but the answer I got was "they are the flavors from...

    Cat has either IBD or SCL, need advice and some support

    Thanks for the replies! My local emergency clinic does have both oncology and internal medicine, so that is a plus yes. I'm actually surprised they didn't ask us about doing a FNA when they saw lymph node involvement. When I brought him in I was expecting they would ask us if they saw anything...

    Cat has either IBD or SCL, need advice and some support

    Long story short, one of my cats had bouts of random vomiting for about a year, and about 6-8 months ago started getting bad constipation where he wouldn't go for days, and when he did try to go it'd get stuck and he'd force and vomit and we had to bring him to the ER vet to get cleared out. He...
