Good day everyone... My ragdoll Lucy has been with me since she was seven weeks and she is now 18 months old, this might seem stupid as I know many people don't understand what pets really mean, but I do love Lucy very much, i always make sure she's happy and well, if i wake up in the middle of the night to drink water or go to the toilet the first thing i do is check on Lucy.. Lucy started getting sick when she was six months, her vet said it was normal for a cat to vomit once every 40-50 days, the vomitting got more frequent as she grew older, it was the worst 5 months ago, Lucy refused to eat and vomitted for two days, the vet checked her during those two days and gave her injections and tablets, she didn't get any better, i had to take her to A and E, she spent two nights there on fluids, the vet first thought she had some serious Liver disaese but Thank God the results were good, the ultrasound however revealed some thickening in her stomach wall, the vet said it is most likely IBD, and suggested we try hills science d/d food before we proceed with the surgery, I was very happy when Lucy recovered and she has been on hills D/d since.. She has been doing well on it but it only contains 4% venison and I know cats are supposed to eat meat not just carbs and very little amount of meat by-products, so i made many searches online and read many great articles about raw feeding and successful stories, i discussed this with me vet but she clearly told me that she doesn't have any experince with raw and she couldnt feel comfortable about it, I didn't want to go against my vet's advice because if something bad -god forbid- happens to Lucy I would blame myself deeply.. But I bought some venison meat and fed her three days ago, surprisingly she ate it and enjoyed it, that night i hardly slept, i expected her to vomit, but Thank God nothing bad happened, so for three days I gave venison to my precious baby, one meal a day and the rest is D/d dry food, I am very worried and confused, ai do want my little angel to be healthy and happy and I want her to eat well, but at the same time my vet knows better and I cant risk her health, so please could anyone here with previous experince with cats with ibd advise me and lead me as I feel so lost.. Lucy means so much to me, the thought of losing her makes me cry.. She got bored with hills food, she used to eat more than she did three days ago, it felt as if she had lost interest in it, she gave me that look and it made me so sad, I am aware that I should not let her trick me or play the boss, like I said before her health comes first and is above everything... Thank you very much in advance.
