Hello,
I'm new here and looking for some ideas for my 8 month old who has IBD. He was on the Hills Science Diet for Kittens when we adopted him at 3 months old. He was thriving until he was 6 months old. Then he started wheezing, vomiting and lost his appetite. I noticed his stomach was making so many sounds and seemed like it would twitch. The vet did multiple tests, bloodwork, xray for his lungs and an ultrasound where they thought he swallowed a foreign object. There wasn't a foreign object but a biopsy of his stomach was taken and it revealed he has IBD. We were given a prescription for Royal Canin PR (rabbit) food. He begs for food and seems hungry so I'm glad he has an appetite but he eats much smaller amounts than he used to. He still throws up occasionally (maybe once every 3 days), his stomach still makes a lot of sounds and he wheezes on and off. Can IBD also cause wheezing? The vet referred us to an internal medicine specialist but the appointment won't be for another 4 weeks. I was thinking of switching him to Dr. Elsey's cleanprotein because it has less ingredients. We also adopted his brother so it's obvious to us there are differences in their appetite, energy and comfort levels.
