My cat, Frank, just came home from a two-day stint at the vet. He has had many troubles over the past couple of years, particularly the past three months. He has stomatitis and has had nearly all of his teeth removed (He has three fangs left). It was a nightmare getting him properly diagnosed and treated for that. Ultimately, the correct diagnosis only came when we switched to a different vet. We no longer use our old vet and have amazing trust in the new one. The past three months he has had sporadic bouts of vomiting. This past week the vomiting was more intense than ever and was accompanied by bloody diarrhea, refusal to eat, and weight loss. After many vet visits and trying many different treatments, our vet felt the correct diagnosis was IBD. Frank is a middle-aged cat who is immune-compromised due to all the trouble he has had with his mouth, so the diagnosis makes sense. The vet sent us home today with a course of clindamycin and a new medication, Gentaspray. The medication says it is for topical use on dogs, but our vet wants us to put two sprays on Frank's food before he eats. I have researched and haven't been able to find anyone else who has been recommended this treatment. Like I said, I trust our vet, but it would just be nice to hear someone else say they have had success with their cat using the same treatment. He advised we use this spray for one week and then switch to putting 1/4 tsp. of Metamucil on Frank's food when he eats. He spoke with me about Frank's diet and did not feel his diet was the cause. He said at this point we don't need to change anything he eats except we might start trying to feed him some yogurt (Vanilla, because cats tend to like that better than plain), as the bacteria will help his gut. Has anyone else been given similar treatment suggestions for their kitties with IBD? This is totally new to us and we want to start controlling it as quickly as possible.
