I just got off the phone with Krissy's vet checking in to see how she's doing.
Interestingly, while she said there is no real way to know what caused all of this, she does agree with me that since her eosinophils last December were high, she clearly has a food allergy/sensitivity. Gone unaddressed, it may very well have caused all of this inflammation....
So this has happened over time, and she wants to just continue with the food change, even said that the dry alone is fine. (not by me but...) Since she eats it well.
Recheck her urine in a month, making sure that her urine is not dilute as much as it was this last time, making sure her kidneys are fine. (?)
It's sort of a catch 22 here though, if she is drinking alot of water then naturally it will be more dilute, and has nothing to do with kidneys.
Kidney values on blood tests look good, as they did with her ultrasound.
So I don't know, does she not have IBD? Is it inflammation only and appears like IBD?
I hate all this guesswork, and hate the waiting part too. I like things black and white, at least when it comes to my cats!
Just feels so maybe-ish, try this and see, ugh, where's my patience?!!
Like I want to wait for 3 months more of doing almost nothing to see if the dry food alone will make her inflammation go away. Feeling frustrated again I guess...
