Denise: I only feed canned food and I meal feed, no free choice feeding here. The food I give was recommended here, no grains or additives, canned. Nature's Variety Instinct. He his not a finicky eater; honestly, his only symptoms are the hairballs. I noticed a shift in his mood also. He has thrown up hairballs all his life, its just that about 3 months ago it was almost daily, and at that point I took him to the vet for a battery of tests, and the only thing slightly elevated was a liver enzyme and protein. She thought he had an allergy because he had overlicked a small area over a nipple til it was pretty bare. Long story short, I switched vets back to my old vet who had come out of retirement, and we have been treating him with prednisolone, pepcid, and metaclopramide, diet changes. I can see that he feels better but last night he threw up a giant hairball. Perhaps I am not giving him enough time on the new food? what do you do for your IBD cats?
