After putting Bubba down in August after his cancer came back full-blast, we took a few months to grieve and are now happy to announce the adoption of 6 month old Rula! We've had her over a week and she's a dream. Took her to the vet on Monday night, b/c she had a bit of mucus in her left eye...

Well Bubba has been doing amazingly well since his surgery 3 weeks ago. He had a tumor in his colon removed, which turned out to be cancerous. He gained 12oz in 3 weeks, which we're thrilled about. He had his first chemo treatment today. He's been home for about 3 hours and he's eaten a lot...

How many calories do you think are in Pounce? I'm thinking it would be comparable to Meow Mix or other poor quality commercial dry food. Maybe 400 calories a cup? Bubba hasn't eaten treats in months and now since we're trying to get him to eat anything to gain back some weight, he's been...

Bubba (12 yo male) has lost a good amount of weight in the past few months. He had a sono 2 weeks ago and it showed a slight thickening of the colon, but nothing else distinctive. This was at our regular vets office. The sonographer goes there 2 days a week. The vet referred us to a vet...

Bubba was put on Clavamox and metronidazole this week. We had an endoscopy scheduled for today, but the specialist had to cancel. Long story. Since he's been on the clavamox (saturday), he has had zero appetite. His appetite was already low, which was why we were doing all these tests to begin...

Here's my previous post for a history. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=183199 I just went to pick Bubba up. He had an abdominal ultrasound. It did show that he had some mild thickening of the intestinal wall and colon. So the vet suggested doing an endoscopy next to get a...

This is a bit long, but I wanted to give some history. Bubba is 12 and was never a big eater. We had to put our other cat down at the end of August and he was the piggy of the two. Bubba would patiently wait until Mikey was done and then pick at the leftovers. When mikey died, we decided to...

We took Bubba in for his annual exam last week and he must have just urinated before we woke up and took him in, b/c they couldn't get any themselves. So the vet suggested shredding newspaper in a clean litterbox, which wouldn't absorb the urine and using the syringe to suck it up. Poor Bubba...

Mikey is gone. He was diagnosed with gastric lymphoma last week and had his first chemo treatment. He continued to be anemic, except for Monday, where his counts went up (i hate that day, b/c we were so optimistic that he turned the corner). Yesterday morning, he didn't want any food, which is...

After a few weeks of my kitty vomiting blood on and off, we finally were referred for a sonogram. His blood showed that is slightly anemic. The sono showed 35-55% of his stomach was masses(sp?) I tried writing everything down, but couldn't keep up. They will try to do an endoscopy tomorrow if he...

I'll try the short version: Mikey has a 3 year history of vomiting/bloody diarrhea. Three different vets all say IBD. He's 16 and has responded extremely well to injections of prednisolone once every 3-6 months. Except for now. He had an injection in early July, but still continued to vomit...

Mikey has been treated for IBD with depo medrol injections successfully for the past 18 months or so. He usually needs an injection every 4 months on average. He is on Hill's Prescription I/D diet. He also loves to eat random things in the house, which contributes to the vomiting. Last week it...

Has anyone used the new version of feline hill's i/d diet? One of my cats has ibd and is on it and hardly touched the old version. But this new formula (actually it only says new texture), he LOVES. It's similar to the eukanuba low residue. He gobbles it up like candy. But since we've gotten it...

My cat Mikey has been vomiting up tiny hairballs a few times a week. I am going to call the vet in a couple of days and get some petroleum jelly. I have already begun brushing him more. But I'm posting to see if anyone else has experience with the increase in frequency of the hairballs. It...

I did a search and only turned up the standard textbook list of adverse effects. My cat, Mikey, has IBD and has been given the injection of depo medrol every 4-5 months or so. It's the only thing that has been successful with treating his IBD. Yesterday was the 3rd time he had the injection and...

Our little bugger, Mikey, is having another "episode" of vomiting/bloody-mucousy diarrhea. He had an injection of Depo in April after trying Flagyl, Pepcid, Centrine, etc. It did the trick and within a couple days of the shot, he was back to normal and stayed that way until now. So, it was a...

My Mikey has been on Hills Prescription I/D diet since April both wet and dry with a lot of success. After a month of different medications and a lot of vomiting/diarrhea, he was finally given a prednisone injection and switched over to the Hills. He's been vomit-free and maybe a couple loose...

Mikey was prescribed this for his IBD. He likes both the wet and dry. We have another cat who doesn't have IBD, but LOVES the Hills i/d as well, so I've been feeding it to both of them. Is it considered a quality food? I used to feed them fancy feast and Iams until all the recall stuff.

I've posted a few times about the various problems Mikey has had the past 2-3 weeks and appreciate the advice I've gotten. The vet gave him a shot of DepoMedrol last week and it seemed to do the trick with the chronic diarrhea and vomiting he was having. He was totally back to himself this...

The past 2 weeks have been extremely stressful for my Mikey. After flagyl didn't work at curtailing his vomiting and diarrhea, the vet switched him to Centrine. Vet said most likely was IBD. This was Saturday. On Tuesday I noticed the cat's pupils were completely dilated, and he was sitting in...
