overnight, and she was HUNGRY this morning. I fed her three small meals of

Lucy has not been diagnosed with ibd, but it is what I suspect (and hope,
alternative being lymphoma, but the soft stool issue started almost 3 months
ago, which is a long time ago for lymphoma).
Anyway, she held down a little cooked turkey for an hour this morning so I
gave her more, that

Michelle,
I just wrote you off-list about Lucy. I said alot of the same things
Tonya did. As far as the broth... if you have some raw turkey, or
chicken, toss it in a small sauce pan with some filtered water and boil
it until you make a weak broth for her. That will be better than a

I'm sorry. I confused the two. Does Lucy have ibd that you know of or just the bladder problems? My ibd cat who threw up (the others had diarrhea) just did it every once in a while. I never could really attribute it to anything out of the ordinary. He had kidney disease and was on s
Ah, but that was Patches who just had surgery last week. Lucy had bladder
surgery over 2 months ago. It has been anything but boring here,
unfortunately.
So did your ibd guy throw up repeatedly and only stop with reglan? How long
would you have to give him reglan for, and could you tell w
I couldn't remember if you ate meat or not. I don't have any chicken soup either. Fasting for 24 hours should be ok. I know with people it's fine, and I've waited 24 hours with cats when it's diarrhea. I just think if it's been 10 and she hasn't thrown up she should be ok to have a ta
I'm vegan so the only meat products I have are for my cats, and chicken

if she has she has not been vomiting it. She does not seem dehy
I once trapped a stray that threw up EVERY time he ate unless I just gave him little bits. He would just scarf down the food so quickly (whole) he would throw it up. Most of my cats throw up pretty frequently. Usually it's due to a hairball. You don't always see the hairball right away, but
Thanks, Tonya. That does make me feel a little better. She only vomited
right after eating. She then wanted to be fed again!
I have not fed her for about 10 hours now. I think I am going to wait until
the morning. So you think if she vomits after getting a little food in the

Thanks. I don't think she has a thyroid problem though. She is 4.5
years old and does not have other symptoms of thyroid issues. She had
loose stools for 2 months before going raw, and I think it is more likely
related to that. Or something worse.

Thank, Tonya. I am worried that all the Baytril and food switches may have

The food situation is complicated. She had a really rare kind of bladder

seem to prevent reformation of them. The Royal

Oh, it was removed surgically over a month ago. Her first stone was
struvite, which we know because S/D prescription food dissolved it. But the
second stone did not dissolve, so they removed it surgically and analyzed it.

The weight loss could easily be from a combination of the meds and the diet change. And unless the stools are black, I wouldn't worry about something more serious. Even fresh blood associated with soft stools is less worrisome, usually a sign of something like clostridium perfringens etc sporulat
