Hi all! I've got a cat with runaway diarrhea again. He was doing so well for awhile. He has food-related IBD and once I took him off all poultry, fish, & gums (used in wet food), them started with puddle poop again.
At the same time, his hyperthyroidism was first starting to act up. His first test showed very low on the chart. So he had to get tested again 2mo later. Low again, but slightly better. Then 2mo later showing it spiked again. So she raised his meds.
I can't remember how long it's been, but the diarrhea definitely got worse. She gave him Metronidazole. Don't think that's worked at all. Now she wants to put him on combo of that and fortiflora. But I've read bad stuff about that.
I've read all the articles even in past posts here. I've tried S. boulardi before but to no avail. Maybe I didn't give it enough time? I don't recall.
He's due for a full battery of tests yet again next week. If they all come back ok, should I try the s boulardi again and wait a good month? I also read that Enterococcus faecium was a good one for diarrhea.
As much as I've read, I still have so many questions. Do they make any that doesn't taste bad that don't have poultry of fish added to it?
Thanks to any patient souls
