Adopted Blue in October 2008. He is about a year old now. Had diarrhea and has not stopped since. I have changed foods at LEAST 5 times. The last one he was on was a prescription diet of venison and peas. now he is on purina rice and chicken becuase he kept throwing the one with peas.
One days he started throwing up and progresively turned into not keeping anything down. Which led to watery diarrhea and loss of bowel control.
Did xrays - negative for bowel obstruction. He has been negative for parasites and worms three times. We also tested for the giardia (sp?); negative. Stool culture was negative. Lab work showed high WBC and Eosinophils. So he leaned towards colitis. He has been on antibiotics and predinosone (steroid) for over 2 wks. Was doing great until today. Threw up everything until he ahd pinked tinged vomit. I happened to have nausea med from the vet that I gave him but you can tell he doesn't feel good.
Any clue what to test for next? Anyone have a cat with chronic colitis that can offer up some advice?
