My cat who has IBS and lost some weight was put on a regimen of
Budenoside (compounded liquid)
Metronidazole
Vitamin B12 injection
Mirataz transdermal gel
This all has made her feel a lot better, eat a lot of food and actually gain weight. No more vomiting and diarrhea.
She has been on this regimen for a month, last week we stopped giving her the mitronidazole based on what the vet said but continued the rest. Since yesterday she kind of went back to not wanting to eat as much anymore, she acts hungry and interested but does not seem to like any food we put in front of her and will eat little. But so far no vomiting or diarrhea though.
Question:
1) can mirataz stop working? Why? How? We do clean her ears with a warm cloth and baby soap the night before her dose to insure mirataz absorption.
2) Could the mitronidazole have been the thing holding it all together? We wonder if we should ask if we can put her back on it again
3) She has been getting Vitamin B-12 shots for at least a month now and i know the effect is cumulative. Could it be the shots make her feel better and which is why she no longer has that ravenous appetite making mirataz less effective or should mirataz make her hungry regardless?
