Our cat who has history of pancreatitis and possible IBD (on prednisolone, very low dosage) was seen in ED for constipation. He had an IV and started pooping all night. They sent him home on lactulose. After a day and a half he started diarrhea and a vomit. We took him back, they did an ultrasound, show some colitis and gastritis which they said probably a result if diarrhea? Sent home on metronidazole and increased his pred.
They wanted us to change his diet to a select protein (we changed his wet and his get a bit of dry, so changed that too). We did and they said since on all these meds just to start with new food, no transition. He's been eating it great for about 6 days. Perfect poops.
Today he just had a very soft poop. How could this happen while also on day 6 of metronidazole? Could it still be from the food change?

. Of course, you probably know that if he really does have IBD, dry food is not good for him and could also be contributing to the problem. Is he getting Vit. B supplementation?
