Need Help for 10 Year Old Cat With IBD

Posted By Debra (North Carolina) on 10/31/2022

My cat has IBD for over a year or more. At first she would vomit once a month. After a few vet visits & prednisolone, probiotic, also bloodwork, she said I might have to do a limited-ingredient diet. It's so expensive & I've got 2 others. Got her on CBD oil just recently. She threw up again, and lately it's been about every other week. She's 10. Help!
EC: Hi Debra,

Please let the EC community know what specific brand of cat food you are currently feeding her so they can help you locate a more inexpensive diet.

I posted about my 10 yr old cat with IBD. The food she eats now is Fancy Feast, Blue Buffalo, different flavors of these right now with CBD & FortiFlora I try a limited diet

Also give her VetriScience hairball treats. Vet prescribed cerenia for vomiting.

Thanks, Debra

Yes, the better foods are slightly pricier. My 11 yr old male kitty has digestive issues and has extracted teeth issues (her had 10 teeth pulled last May 1 '23.) F.Feast has a Savory Centers that he can handle, as it sounds like canned food is better for them. Although mine still desires some dry. PureVita by Nutrasource is very good & worked for a couple years, price is ok & they do have it at Chuck&Don's the small bag ~3lbs is 11.99 I think (used to be 10.99 inflation is live&well mr. President). Other than that I got a good prescription food: Royal Canadae gastrointestinal "can" food diet smooth loaf/ there's chunk's or a pate. The dry food of this brand Max cat ate only for a short time and then refused it. *Also a question for EC is if they know of remedy or ideas as my cat is fairly healthy but gets constipated. My apt is very small (560 sq ft. Senior's Apt.) and not much stretching room for a lg orange /white cat)!
