Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I hope you can help with some advice. One of our kitties has had irritable bowel for many years. We've had her on a daily regimen of probiotics (Proviable) and a variety of grain free canned food and grain free dry food. Every once in a while she has a flare up with running around (looking uncomfortable) and diarrhea (not watery, but very loose and smelly). On this occasions, she tends not to use the box maybe because she can't get there in time. I have put her a regimen of Prednisone (per the vet) for 5 days and then a taper of every other day for 5 days which has been effective, but I don't like using the prednisone with all the potential side effects. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has had this issue and what treatments have worked. Thanks for your help!
