Were Maris's symptoms constant, or only at a particular time of day? Lucy has had colitis symptoms before, treated with pred and flagyl, just has never had these episodes of a few hours a day of visible dicomfort. other times of day she eats, etc., but this is the second time in 3 nights she has been sick at night. thanks, michelle

Took months to get her through it. Her lower intestines were so inflamed that she was in pain and did not want to eat. What really worked for her was a depo medrol injection. That got the inflammation down while the metronidazole (after the ronidazole) had time to work. Over a 6 month period she needed 2 depo injections. I've had two other cats with bad parasite infections who needed a depo injection while treatment kicked in. Side note -- my vet did not want to call it "IBD" because he felt the term was overused. He called it colitis and the tritrich was confirmed by a fecal test.
