IF she has IBD, kibble is definitely not good for her because of the grains in it. That's another reason why canned food would be better.
I'm guessing the packets of probiotics you got from the Vet is FortiFlora, and you can actually buy that on Amazon for less money, but it's only worth it if she likes it. Most cats love it....two of mine do, but one of mine will not touch any food that has it on it
As far as transitioning Nala to canned food, have you seen this article? http://www.thecatsite.com/a/transit...-to-a-new-type-of-food-canned-raw-or-homemade I don't think it mentions it in the article, but as a topper, you can also use some of her existing kibble for a topper...just crush it down smaller.
OR, as a last resort, at least if you can find some truly low carb kibble like Young Again or Wysong Epigen 90.
The probiotics more help the back end then the front end. So if she is vomiting, not sure adding probiotics will help much with that.
As far as food, have you tried Fancy Feast Classics. Most cats switching from kibble find those irresistible, and they aren't a bad food (but ONLY the Classics). My own extremely picky eater likes Nutro Natural Choice Chunky Loaf Chicken, or a couple of the other flavors, and that's it. So it's really just a matter of finding the right food. All of mine used to eat raw, but now only one does because the others are so darned picky that they started rejecting even that. What are you gonna do. I think all cats are a pain in the ... That's why they are so darned CUTE
