I am just offering a veterinarian approved method, if you don't want to do it or it does not work for you and your cat,  that's fine too.

Cats do not want or like to be wrapped up. If you have a cat that refuses to take a pill or any medicine for that matter, wrap him in a towel very fast. In my case I have to catch my cat and be very quick to get the towel around him. Of course they don't like it. The idea is you can contain...

Just wrap you cat with a towel, like a burrito. The won't move at all.

Well I am so happy today! My cat had a normal BM. First one since March of last year. Here is what I am doing: I switched his food to grain free about 2 months ago, canned food. I am feeding him Nutro canned pate. Also, I stopped all fish, as he has terrible diarrhea when eating this. I put...

He could have urinary track disease. My cat drinks so much water it is unbelievable. He parks himself at the water bowl. You should have a urine test done.

That is food poisoning. Your veterinarian may prescribe a week’s worth of oral antibiotics if the Clostridium perfringens toxin is found. Cats that need to be treated for long-term cases of diarrhea may need to be given antibiotics for a longer period of time. Dietary management is also...

I would get another opinion first before putting to sleep.

My cat has diarrhea and the prednisone has not helped. In my opinion, you should try it and see if it helps your cat. If not you will have to take other measures as I have found out. .

I am so sorry this happened to you. It is very interesting and confirmed my belief about too many vaccines

I have a friend whose cat with diabetes lost the use of her hind legs as well. Perhaps the vet can run the blood test for diabetes only.

Fortiflora works great. In fact, I am picking up our second box of packets from the vet today. My cat loves it.

Thank you, I will give it a try.  It's a big mystery now. I wish they could tell us what is wrong, lol.

Thanks for clarifying the ultrasound procedure. I think all signs point to IBD or a food allergy or both, but I am going to get the digestive blood test done first to rule out pancreatitis. Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate your time and I will let you know how the blood test...

Thanks so much for this info. I will take this info to my vet and get these tests done. His weight is going up. He weighed 18lbs when this started and now weighs about 20lbs due to the pred. Made him more hungry. Do they have to anesthetize a cat for the ultra sound? I will not anesthetize him...

ok, I will take him in next week and get the pcr fecal test. My vet told me that if I put my cat on Hills zd, it could take 4 weeks or more to see if that works. I have some cans of that also, but have not tried it because 4 weeks is a long time to determine if this food will work or not...

Hi, no she did not test for coccidia and giardia, instead, we just put him on Panacur for 3 days, which would kill parasites. Afterwords, I saw no worms or anything. I have this Natures Variety but have not tried it yet. How long do you think he would have to eat it before I would know if it works?

Hi, I appreciate what you have stated here however, my cat has diarrhea for 8 months now and nothing is working. Not even the Pred. He has been on Flagyl and then zeneqiun, then panacur, and currently on pred for last 2 months. I changed his diet to grainfree about 4 weeks ago and put foriflora...

Hi all, I finally heard from the vet and she said that she is switching Rocky back to prednisone 5mg. He was on prednisoline 5mg. She said sometimes they do better on prednisone. Also, I asked her about the PCR test and she said that the flagyl would have covered most parasites, but that she...

wish I could but I know I would never sleep again. I have 2 cats that run across the bed right over me when there bowl gets low. Doesn't matter what time it is.  They are so bad! Anyway, I do  appreciate your suggestions.

darn it she has not returned my call. It will have to wait til Monday. My cats have their own bowl but I have one common bowl for dry food. It would not be possible for me to eliminate that. My cats go crazy even if there bowl is going on empty. Spoiled rascals,lol.
