I wonder if other cat parents have cats with acid reflux and how do you manage this?
Ryshu, after a long investigation for a seemingly unrelated issue (mouth ulcerations), has been put on omeprasole. He has definitely improved. We will be tapering it next month. At the moment he gets 0.5ml a day.
He was on gabapentin which we tapered successfully, and metacam which we have started tapering (from 0.5ml dose, the taper is slow, 0.1ml a week, so his body adapts to the change).
I wonder what other options than omeprasole are? Any supplements? Diet changes? He is taking a probiotic as well Nutravet (special strain of a natural probiotic bacteria (Enterococcus faecium) together with a prebiotic, natural antioxidants and Vitamin B12 to help maintain healthy gut function, general wellbeing, support the immune system and aid recovery).
Thanks
