It has been awhile since I last posted.
It appears one of my 5yr old cats is developing IBS.
It started a little over a month ago after a visit to the vet for their vaccinations (we skipped a year).
First bout of small intestine diarrhea occurred about 2 days post vet and then about once every two weeks.
I initially thought it was the new dry (I rotate) called Grasslands by a Canadian company but I was wrong. I feed them raw after the episode (usually last just 1-day) and he clears up.
I was thinking of mixing probiotics into their food and feeding raw 3x/week rather than once.
Their current daily regime has been the following:
Mix of 3oz wet + 1/3 cup dry (AM/PM)
1/3 dry (late afternoon)
Food:
Nature's Variety Instinct Dry: Rabbit or Salmon with or without freeze dried raw.
Nature's Variety Instinct Wet: Salmon, Venison, or Lamb
Nature's Variety Raw: Lamb
Wet is rotated daily.
Needless to say I'm disappointed that I'm having to deal with this yet again. I hoped the constant rotation would prevent this from happening.
All suggestions welcome but what do you think about my plan for increasing raw and probiotics mixed in food?
