What is the 'gastro' diet he's on now? The specialist said it's possible that Jack may have IBD also and he has horrible smelling poop. Not sure if your Jimmy's diet would work for Jack as he is also a Megacolon cat, but curious what you're feeding.
The vet started Jimmy on Medi-Cal Gastro dry food when he became really ill a month or so ago. But it's a new food produced by Medi-Cal and only comes in a 4lb bag and it was getting kind of expensive to keep buying these small bags. So I asked the vet if I could slowly switch him over to Medi-Cal HypoGastro which comes in bags as big as 17.5 pound bags. The bag is bright orange in colour. It also comes in cans. He doesn't love the canned version but he'll eat it sometimes. It's actually this food that I think has really helped him because it's made for cats with gastro issues and allergy issues. I think it's got things in it like potato and pheasant and he really likes it. Thankfully they all do so I'm feeding it to a few of my cats. Is Medi-Cal sold in the states? It's only available at vet clinics here. It might be worth a try to see if it helps Jack. :)
