Is it just me or has there been a real increase in IBD in just the last few years. I joined here in early 2006 because my cat had what was finally diagnosed as IBD but it seemed like there were many more threads about CRF. I am sure there are still CRF kitties but it seems like now of the chronic illness a majority of the threads are now about IBD. Maybe I am just more sensitized to it but it seems like there has been a big increase.
