hello,
i'm a new user -- someone referred me here. anyway my cat was diagnosed with allergies that triggered ibd flare ups. prednisone is controlling it currently. my vet recommended switching food to a high protein grain free wet food.
my issue is that i'm not very keen on switching food simply because the food my cats are currently eating is working well for them. my vet thought my cat might one day not tolerate the food i'm feeding right now. however, because of my situation, it would be easiest to switch all my cats over, and i'd rather not if it might not offer any benefit to my sick cat.
at any rate. i was just wondering if anyone had experience with this and if the switch in food helped cats with ibd (or alternatively, what diet in general helped with ibd). i would just rather not switch everyone's food if a diet switch didn't offer any help.
thanks!
