My vet says the Blue hydrolyzed canned food is significantly lower carb than the Hills z/d, but more cats reject Blue than the z/d. Pants is...
Thanks, everyone. I'm taking her back in to the vet on Friday and will try to get new GI bloodwork to see if that sheds more light on what's going...
My vet said the same thing about hydrolyzed being better for GI issues. I wish the z/d worked, but she barfed it everywhere. I cannot imagine how...
I've actually taken ondansetron myself, years and years ago, but I didn't know cats could take it. Good info! She has had her B12 tested, but not...
The vet doesn't think so, but her test results weren't definitive and she hasn't had full bloodwork done recently. She probably needs labs sent to...
Forgot to mention -- I have tried HPP (high pressure pasteurized) raw food for her in the past. It was something rabbit based and much better...
Thanks so much for all of your help. Unfortunately, budesonide is what knocked Pants out of remission in 2018. She went from normal BG to numbers...
Thanks! I did look into raw diets when she was first diagnosed with IBD, but due to my own stomach issues, I'm very high risk for food-borne...
My kitty Pants has EPI and IBD in addition to diabetes in remission, and that combination has been challenging. She did OK for 2.5 years on novel...
Have you had any luck finding a hydrolyzed canned food that isn't high carb? I'm in the same boat -- diabetic kitty with IBD, so I'd love to know if...
That's interesting, that's the first time I've seen egg mentioned as a possibility. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip, that looks like a fabulous product, but I neglected to mention Pants is probably allergic to chicken. I checked their website and...
Butter will make her barf, but I wonder whether oils in her food would be OK. I'm having a hard time getting advice and feel like I'm kind of on my...
She's not on any anti-nausea drugs. She doesn't vomit anymore, which may be why the hairballs build up now. She only vomits immediately before...
Are there hairball remedies that are safe for diabetic cats? They all seem to have some kind of sugar in them. I'm open to home remedies too. The...
It stuck! Pants is now at 5 months of remission. I've calmed down and am only testing every few weeks instead of daily. She gained back a little...
For IBD, my vet advised once per week for six weeks, wait a month, retest to make sure the level is good, then once per month thereafter. But I did...
My vet said insulin lasts at least six months and usually longer if kept refrigerated consistently.
Awww, she's adorable.
Personally, I wouldn't risk feeding dry food. Remission is fragile and a cat that seems to be solidly in a non-diabetic BG range can get knocked out...
