My cat will be 13 at the end of this year and has recently been vomiting at least once a week. I took her to the vet a month ago and the doctor did bloodwork, which was perfect except that it showed signs she very likely has IBD (inflammatory bowel disorder). He started her on one shot to see if it was just an irritation, but lo and behold three weeks later she began puking again this week.
I just came home with some prescription diet food. Since she tends to eat dry food more, I decided to try dry food first to see if she would be accepting of it. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to get an admittedly picky eater to eat this new food which is much easier on her stomach? Her vet said to basically put a few kernels in and increase daily very slowly....
Any advice re: IBD and IBD treatment for cats in general would also be most welcome. I am new to this! Our goal is to eventually get her to the point she does not need the shot she is being given, but even lengthening the time between shots would be a positive.
