The lady had a phone consultation yesterday with the great Dr. D about my recent IBD flare-up. It was decided that I should go back on the prednisilone and metronidazole for a while, since we had such great results on it before.
She also recommended I start a food trial, but I'm not having it. Right now the only thing I will eat is dry kitten food--thanks CC and Snoopy! I was loving my grain-free wet food until I had that flare up and vomited, but the lady is hoping I will go back to it once my tummy settles.
Right now I am having intermittent vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Sure hope the meds kick in real soon so I will go back to having a wonderful appetite and normal litter box habits! A little weight gain wouldn't hurt either.....I need some more insulation during this cold weather!

Oh this stinks! I had to go back on steriods once before. Look at the food trial as an adventure. My mommy mixed my new food and old food together. Like 5 pieces of new crunchies for every 20 of my old food for a few days until a got used to it.
I hope you like the DD (it comes in 3 flavors) tho. It has really helped me. Of course, your best food might be something totally different. I will help save your mommy some money tho, the Prescription Hill ZD is NASTY.
Not only would I not eat it, the starving feral cat family we were trapping at the time (all went to no kill shelters) would not eat it either. Our friends cat hates it too.
PS purring that you feel all better soon. i know how sucky it is for you and for your mommy to watch you suffer.
I hope your medicines will start working real quickly!
I hope you get feeling better real soon. Mom's first cat only ate kitten chow for 19 years, so maybe dry kitten food is your thing.
