Hi everyone and greetings from Norway!! 

My little kitty has been sick since April. It started out with diarreha and womiting, what look liked blank fluid. After a trip to the vet I got the devestating news that he had almost none white bloodcells and his liver had suffered hard. They thought it was possibly feline panleukopenia and recommended me to let him go to sleep. After much talking, they agreed to set him on antibiotics and see if he had a chance of recovering. He made it through, the womiting stopped, but the diarreha continued. At the next stop to the vet he tested negative on a "pervo test", so they didnt think he had panleukopenia after all. Then they thouht it might be autoimmune hemalytic anemia and they put him on cortisone. Then on the next control they stated that he probably could have a inflamatory bowel infection and he went on antibiotics again + ate only Royal Canin ID dry food against diarreha. After a few days he got better and I got my hope up that he would recover…But once the antibiotics was finished, he started with the diarreha again :( :( Now he is on antibiotics for 2 weeks again, but if he doesnt get better now, the vets has told me the best thing to do is to put him to sleep :( :( So I have searched the web for EVERYTHING and then I got in to this page!

I am so happy for you that the raw food diet has worked for so many of your wonderful cats!!! I have now tried for 1 day to give my cat only raw chicken and porkfilets, and he loves it! But then again he has started pooping only fluid/diarreha tonight. Should I keep on with the raw diet? And for how long should I do it before I can expect to see some results? Of course, its not 100 % sure that my cat has IBD, but I think this probably is it. He has all the symptoms of it, as far as I know. 

Sorry for my very long reply here, I hope that some of you can give me some advice. I would be so thankful :) :)

Thank you very much!!

Hi Frosti and welcome to TCS. I am sure you will find the information you need to help your cat. If you're interested in feeding raw, I would suggest looking at the Raw Forum where you will find tons of advice. Bear in mind that a switch to raw will take a while - nothing will work miracles in just a day or two.
